AB229. An audit of surgical requirements and outcomes of an intensive care unit in a model three hospital

Background: While variations exist in the economic burden of intensive care unit (ICU) patients, various micro-costing studies have led to more informative data regarding these. However, to date, little research has been completed on the service requirements and outcomes of Model Three hospital’s ICUs. As almost 50% of surgical activity and bed days are provided by and utilized in the setting of a model three hospital nationally, we felt this required further exploration.
