    The document discusses several topics related to critical care medicine: 1. Triage principles for ICU bed allocation in a resource-constrained South African ICU/PICU would consider factors like diagnosis, prognosis, and likelihood of recovery. 2. Nutrition plays an important role in managing severe sepsis by meeting requirements, proper administration of nutrients and pharmaco-nutrients, and avoiding complications. 3. Ventilator-associated pneumonia is defined and diagnosed, caused by pathogens spreading from the upper airways, and prevented through measures like hand hygiene, oral care, and selective de-escalation of antibiotics.
