Not going to talk about…
Individual bed in an individual ICU

ICU beds driving care at the individual level…

Stepping back…

Many aspects of ‘bed numbers’
• ICU beds as an absolute number
• ICU beds per capita
• ICU beds as a percentage of hospital beds
• Distribution of beds (across a region)
• Types of beds

The question of “definition”
• ICU
• CCU
• Intermediate ICU
• PACU

UK and US ICU
UK: • Level 3: 1:1 nurse to patient ratio, ability to provide
mechanical ventilation
• Level 2: 1:2 nurse to patient ratio, ability to provide single organ support (except mechanical ventilation)
US: • Mostly 1:2 nurse to patient ratio, ability to provide
mechanical ventilation

Death in England?
“Kingsley [Amis] has ‘the old man’s friend’: pneumonia. He is on morphine and antibiotics. When pneumonia recurs, which it will, the morphine will remain but the antibiotics will go. This is the English way…” - Martin Amis

Conclusions
• ICU beds do drive care
• Cannot dis-entangle this from the cultural acceptance/preferences that also drive care
– Currently, this driver only goes one-way over time
• Individual ICU/hospital variation may shift you one direction or the other
(probably less than you think)
