Abstract
This study was done at Nizam’s Institute of medical Sciences to estimate the congestion being faced by the ICU s of the various depts. NIMS has 158 ICU beds out of a total of 1150 beds which is around 15 %. These beds have an average bed occupancy rate of above 90%. This is leading to congestion of beds in the casuality of Emergency dept and this is resulting in diversion of cases to other hospitals. Based on the review of various journals on similar topic, it has been suggested to have a Step down unit or Intermediate care unit to reduce the burden on the ICU beds.
