INTRODUCTION:The Stanford Emergency Critical Care Program (ECCP), in which a dual-boarded EM/CCM physician serves as an embedded consultant during hours of peak ED census, was initiated in 2017. We investigated the association between the ECCP intervention and critical care utilization in ED patients with Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA).METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort analysis of adult DKA patients in the ED who were admitted to critical care between 2017-2019. Duration of critical care and ICU bed utilization by patients admitted during ECCP hours were compared to patients admitted during non-ECCP hours. Stata was used for all analyses.
