Many mechanically ventilated patients in japan are treated in high dependency care units (hdus) rather than intensive care units (icus). hdus can provide intermediate level care with reduced costs; however, there is limited evidence on whether mechanically ventilated patients should be treated in the icu or hdu. Rationale: high dependency care units (hdus), also termed “intermediate care units”, “step down units”, or “respiratory hdus”, are areas in which degrees of patient care and costs are between those of the intensive care unit (icu) and the general ward. in general, patients requiring mechanical ventilation are treated in the icu.
Intensive care unit versus high dependency care unit for covid 19 patients with invasive mechanical ventilation ann am thorac soc . 2023 jan;20(1):102 109. doi: 10.1513 annalsats.202206 475oc. Results. of 202,866 eligible patients, 78,646 (39%) and 124,220 (61%) were admitted to the icu and hdu, respectively, on the day of admission. after propensity score matching, there was no statistically significant difference in in hospital mortality between patients who were admitted to the icu and hdu on the day of admission (10.7% vs. 11.4%; difference, − 0.6%; 95% confidence interval.
