- W2040610111 abstract "Background. The objective of this study was to determine whether an educational intervention on medical ethics offered during a surgical intensive care unit (SICU) rotation could effect meaningful change in a tertiary SICU. Methods. A case-based education program was presented weekly to the surgical residents during their SICU rotation. Cases for study were designed to deal with specific ethical issues common to the SICU. Cases were studied with the residents in a group facilitated by a SICU attending physician and a nursing director. The effect of the course was monitored by case review and by the length of stay (LOS) assessment for patients who died in the SICU during 1990, the base year, through 1993. Results. Discussions of an ethical nature occurred more regularly and earlier during these 4 years as determined by case reviews. For patients who died after being in the SICU a minimum of more than 30 days, a marked decrease occurred in the SICU LOS from 27.8±3.7 days in 1990 to 15.7±2.4 days in 1993 (p<0.05). The number of deaths per year and the average acuity measured by the diagnosis-related group score were similar during the 4 years. The LOS in the hospital for dying patients from non-SICU services remained similar during the same time frame. These changes resulted in the dying patients using 1003 SICU days in 1993, down from the 2028 days used in 1990 (p<0.05). Conclusions. We conclude that through offering a clinical ethics program during the SICU portion of the residency training, residents increased knowledge and skill in addressing and integrating practical ethical issues into their surgical resident practice. In addition, patient care directly improved with an associated reduced SICU LOS and reduced cost. Background.
