Site Maintenance October 29 – November 5
SCCM is currently performing major updates to its digital infrastructure to better serve members. Any website that requires an SCCM Customer ID and password to log in is currently unavailable until November 5, 2024. SCCM Customer Service and staff have limited capabilities, and response times will be longer during this time.
Todd Fraser, MD, speaks with John D. Santamaria, MBBS, MD, FRACP, FCICM, FCCP, about the article “Increasing the Number of Medical Emergency Calls Does Not Improve Hospital Mortality” (Santamaria J, et al. Crit Care Med. 2018;46:1063-1069).
The podcast explores Dr. Santamaria’s recent study on the relationship between emergency calling rates and adjusted in-hospital mortality and the effect of increasing call rates on the workload of the teams.
Dr. Santamaria is the director of intensive care at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Melbourne, Australia.
