Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In order to obtain the largest representation of South Asia and Middle East ICUs, a network of research doctors as facilitators from each country is created. The role of the facilitators is to contact and recruit adult ICUs within their country. Each facilitator contacts the hospitals (public and private), creating a network of collaborating doctors/nurses (participants) from those hospitals who expressed their willingness to participate.
Data collection: a web based Google Forms with online access will be used Only one entry per ICU will be collected during the study. Statistic analysis: a descriptive analysis is planned for the general characteristics of the participating units and the study population.
