- PublicationCaring for Transgender patients in the ICU: Current insights for equitable careThere is ever more focus on issues surrounding Transgender/Trans people and their healthcare needs, and while there is a dearth of evidence related to Intensive Care, this paper aims to address considerations for ICU nurses when caring for Trans patients. These include both the overall approach to person-centred care for Trans patients as well as the physiological considerations that necessitate nursing interventions. The term Trans is an umbrella term which refers to a person whose gender identity differs from the biological sex they were assigned at birth. Not everybody ascribes to a gender identity which is either male, nor female; people who identify outside of this binary might be described as Non-Binary or a number of other terms. Further terminology is outlined in Table 1.

However, there is limited research on the care of Transgender patients in the Intensive Care Unit which can contribute to knowledge gaps, inconsistencies and uncertainties surrounding health care practices. This article is not intended to address all of the specific needs of Transgender patients in ICU, but to explore the ethical considerations for caring for a Transgender woman in the ICU. In doing so, this article will explore some specific considerations around gender affirming care, challenging discrimination, physiological changes, and systems change to enhance care.
