Abstract:This data forms a small snapshot of activity in our region. There is little to define a 'High Dependency' patient, but the PDDMDS provides a useful tool. Regular audit would provide more information on delivery of critical care outside of PICU and allow network planning to ensure skills are appropriately maintained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
