Summary
Major critical illness events, such as cardiopulmonary arrest and intensive care unit (ICU) transfer, disrupt workflow in a hospital ward. Other patients on the same ward may receive inadequate attention, especially if their care team is distracted by the emergency. Most studies have concentrated on patient-level variables associated with outcomes.This paper, published by JAMA, looks at the risk to ward occupants associated with patients on the same ward experiencing critical illness.
