Article Synopsis
- Mental health issues among healthcare professionals in ICUs are serious, with burnout rates reaching up to 50%, and factors affecting burnout include communication and support systems.
- The 'Hello Bundle' intervention was created to combat burnout by enhancing social interactions and team cohesion, using elements like posters, email reminders, and daily greetings.
- A cluster randomized controlled trial will assess the effectiveness of the 'Hello Bundle', involving around 7,300 participants from various ICUs, comparing burnout levels before and after the intervention.

- This review highlights the database's current usage in quality improvement, national registries, and clinical research, while discussing future possibilities in critical care.
Purpose: Parametric regression models have been the main statistical method for identifying average treatment effects. Causal machine learning models showed promising results in estimating heterogeneous treatment effects in causal inference. Here we aimed to compare the application of causal random forest (CRF) and linear regression modelling (LRM) to estimate the effects of organisational factors on ICU efficiency.

Methods: This was a prospective study of patients admitted to the intensive care unit with a diagnosis of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The prevalence of sonographic vasospasm and radiological delayed cerebral ischemia was analyzed, as was the correlation between different tomographic scales and these complications.
