We performed a prospective study in our teaching hospital to determine the demand for a High Dependency Unit where none had existed before. An admission criteria protocol was designed for medical and surgical patients and this was used in an intense surveillance of 22 acute wards over 2 weeks. It was predicted that a high dependency unit of eight beds would operate to capacity 50% of the time. An analysis of this type over a short period of time using similar admission criteria could be used to assist in the prediction of the necessary size of a High Dependency Unit facility in any hospital.
我们在我院教学医院开展了一项前瞻性研究，以确定对之前不存在的高依赖病房的需求。为内科和外科患者设计了一套收治标准方案，并在两周内用于对22个急性病病房进行密集监测。预计一个拥有8张床位的高依赖病房将有50%的时间满负荷运转。在短时间内使用类似收治标准进行此类分析，可用于协助预测任何医院高依赖病房设施所需的规模。
