Pre ICU | – | Late unplanned ICU admission Early unplanned ICU admission Delayed ICU admission ICU referral burden | Mortality associated with weekend admission |
In ICU | ICU occupancy ICU turnover Nursing time Intensivist staffing Patient to nurse ratio Nurse workload ICU night coverage | Stress ulcer prophylaxis Venous thromboembolism prophylaxis Duration of mechanical ventilation Incidence of ARDS Proportion of extubations which are re-intubated Nosocomial Resistance Index Compliance with antimicrobial guidance Empirical antibiotic therapy Density of antimicrobial use Incidence of bloodstream Infection Incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia Incidence of urinary catheter associated infection Incidence of central venous catheter associated infection Incidence of nosocomial infections Incidence of nosocomial MRSA ICU census accuracy ICU admission census ICU night discharge Transfer due to ICU capacity Avoidable days in ICU Patient flow Unplanned extubation Consent rate for solid organ donation | ICU mortality Risk adjusted mortality (Standardized Mortality Ratio).
