Description
Amir Lotfi writes a 2026 letter that critiques surveys of staffing in cardiac intensive care units. Such units care for the sickest heart patients. The surveys, run by a national cardiology group, map how units are staffed and how heart doctors roles shift. Lotfi finds the maps useful for peer comparison, yet urges care in reading them.
Just twenty percent replied, and most came from academic centres, so rates may not fit the whole country. The survey tool was new and not yet validated, meaning not yet proven sound. Terms like high intensity staffing lump unlike models in one group. Cross section data, taken at one time, cannot prove trends over time. Lotfi urges set terms, better sampling and long term follow up.
