Some research out of Beth-Israel hospital on outcomes between Midlevel staffed ICU's and Resident Staffed ICU's.

For your discussion pleasure: Whats the mix at your facility and do you think it works well?

so a unit that uses NP/PAs as residents with "an on-site fellow and intensivist during the day" and better night time care than the MICU-Res has the same outcomes.......i'm shocked....
