Of these patients, 400, 000-500, 000 will die annually giving the ICU the distinction of having the highest rate of mortality and complications in the hospital setting. Studies have demonstrated that one in ten patients who die each day in ICUs might survive if intensivists were present to manage clinical care and direct treatment plans (Randolph a Pronovost, 2002; Dimick, Pronovost, Heitmiller a Lipsett, 2001; Pronovost, Angus, Dorman, Robinson et al, 2002).Bello, J., Ollendorf, D.
