Critical Care SmartBrief readers this past week weighed in on the following survey question:

Has your ICU team had to bring in staff from other areas of the hospital amid the COVID-19 pandemic? If so, what’s been most helpful in onboarding these new members?

Their answers:

  • PPE
  • Yes
  • Yes. Previous ICU experience. Decent orientation if unfamiliar with critical care.

See this week’s brief for the next survey question and be sure to submit a response.
