Özet

Objective: The benefit of continuous on-site presence by a staff academic critical care specialist in the intensive care unit of a teaching hospital is not known. We compared the quality of care and patient/family and provider satisfaction before and after changing the staffing model from on-demand to continuous 24-hr critical care specialist presence in the intensive care unit.
