The allocation of intensivists' rounding time under conditions of intensive care unit capacity strain.
This single-center study of 566 patients provides the first description of how ICU physicians allocate time spent on patient rounds and how this allocation changes as ICUs become strained. Daily rounding time increased with increases in census and admissions, but less time was spent per patient, primarily affecting new admissions and nonblack follow-up patients. Neither patient age, sex, acuity, and severity of illness nor the presence of family on rounds affected the allocation of rounding time.
