Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to gather data on the characteristics of intensive care units (ICUs) in Turkey through a nationwide point prevalence survey conducted by the Turkish Thoracic Society.
- - Data from 67 ICUs revealed that 76.1% operated under a closed system, with 35.8% classified as Level of Care (LOC) 2 and 64.2% as LOC 3, indicating a range of critical care capacity.
- - The findings highlighted a significant need for more specialized physicians and nurses in ICUs, particularly during nighttime, although the percentage of certified ICU nurses was seen as relatively adequate, with aspirations for full certification.
