| Abstract |
Compared to other countries, Germany has the highest number of intensive care unit (ICU) beds, but, despite this, a shortage in ICU care is evident. Currently, little comprehensive data on ICU staffing and on subsequent closure of ICU beds are available. The current survey therefore aimed to systematically investigate the closure of ICU beds. A survey was performed among authorized professional trainers in ICU medicine. Overall, a shortage of ICU beds following bed closure was evident in 76% of all ICU floors with 22% reporting daily ICU bed closure. In 47%, two ICU beds were not available. Emergency care was unrestricted in only 18%, while restrictions were reportedly frequent or even constant in 30%. The main reasons for ICU bed closure were the unavailability of ICU nurses (44%) and the co-existing unavailability of nurses and physicians (19%). On average, the nurse/patient ratio was 1:2.5 in the morning, 1:2.6 in the afternoon, and 1:3.1 in the night shift. ICU bed closure regularly occurs in Germany. The underlying main reason has been identified to be the unavailability of ICU nursing staff. This is suggested to directly interfere with emergency care. For this reason, an action plan is urgently needed. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 12. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 September 2021.
All research outputs
#3,076,788
of 25,522,520 outputs
Outputs from Medizinische Klinik - Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin
#31
of 581 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#58,564
of 340,025 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Medizinische Klinik - Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin
#4
of 25 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,522,520 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 581 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.1. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 340,025 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 25 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
