Background: Although there is substantial evidence supporting the benefits of an intensivist model of critical care delivery, the extent to which this model has been adopted by trauma centers across the United States is unknown. We set out to evaluate how critical care is delivered in Level I and II trauma centers and the extent to which these centers implement evidence-based patient care practices known to improve outcome.
Methods: All Level I and Level II trauma centers in the United States were surveyed using a previously validated questionnaire pertaining to the organizational characteristics of critical care units.
