- Abstract:
- Cardiac surgery ICUs vary greatly in structure, care practices, and clinician staffing, but none of these organizational factors is consistently associated with patient mortality in the 30 days following surgery. In this study of 43 Pennsylvania hospitals and nearly 30,000 patients, there was no relationship between mortality and presence of daytime or nighttime intensivists, nurse ICU experience, or presence of interns or residents.
