Therapeutic potential of intraluminal oxygenation.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:ICU admission delays can negatively affect patient outcomes, but emergency department volume and boarding times may also affect these decisions and associated patient outcomes. We sought to investigate the effect of emergency department and ICU capacity strain on ICU admission decisions and to examine the ef...
