Critical care beds are a finite resource. Transfer or discharge of patients from the intensive care unit affects the flow of patients in critical care. Effective whole hospital bed management is key to the successful management of the critical care service. However, admission to the critical care unit alone can be extremely frightening, distressing, and traumatic not only for the patients but their families as well. Although transfer to the medical floors is a positive step toward physical recovery, it can be equally traumatic, and many patients and their families exhibit stress, fear, and anxiety. The purpose of this article was to systematically review the effects of intensive care unit transfer or discharge to medical-surgical floors on adult critically ill patients, their family members and nurses.
重症监护病床是一种有限的资源。患者从重症监护病房转出或出院会影响重症监护中的患者流动。有效的全院病床管理是重症监护服务成功管理的关键。然而，仅入住重症监护病房对患者及其家人来说就可能极其可怕、痛苦和造成精神创伤。尽管转至普通内科病房是朝着身体康复迈出的积极一步，但这同样可能造成精神创伤，许多患者及其家人会表现出压力、恐惧和焦虑。本文的目的是系统回顾重症监护病房转至普通内科或外科病房对成年重症患者、其家庭成员及护士的影响。
