Care bundles are regarded as a crucial instrument for enhancing the quality of care provided at the bedside in the intensive care unit (ICU). In recent years, the bundle approach to healthcare delivery has grown in popularity. An improvement over a non-structured approach, a care bundle is a collection of interventions that, when administered collectively, produce better results than if they were administered separately. A collection of three to five evidence-based interventions typically makes up a care bundle. A care bundle is a collection of treatments that greatly enhance patient outcomes when combined. In order to improve patient care, multidisciplinary teams strive to provide the best care possible, backed by evidence-based research and practices.
