We introduce in this paper a method for describing the components of medical activities during a patient management in an ICU (Intensive Care Unit) by the medical team, including physicians and nurses. This method allows both observing and representing the collective activity of patient management and should be used by the team members in order to prepare themselves to official accreditation procedures. An event-centred representation of medical activities is built during a 3-steps procedure. It successively involves an event-centred observation phase, an action extraction and coding phase, and an event and collaborative representation phase. The results allow us to characterize specific features of this complex and time-constrained situation as well as the collaborative activities between members of the team.
