Is the Critical Care Resuscitation Unit Sustainable: A 5-Year Experience of a Beneficial and Novel Model

Figure 4

(a) Comparison of time intervals from transfer request to bed assignment for the critical care resuscitation unit (CCRU) and overall time intervals for transfer to our academic medical center (UMMC). Median of time intervals for UMMC and CCRU patients were analyzed using Mann–Whitney U tests with all -values<0.001. Abbreviations: CCRU, critical care resuscitation unit; UMMC, University of Maryland Medical Center. (b). Comparison of time intervals from transfer request to each unit’s bed assignment for patients who were transferred from other hospitals to our academic medical center. Median time intervals for CCRU vs. other ICU and CCRU vs. ED transfer were analyzed using Mann–Whitney U tests with all -values<0.001. Abbreviations: CCRU, critical care resuscitation unit; ED, emergency department; ICU, intensive care unit; UMMC, University of Maryland Medical Center.
