1. Ours is 1 hour. 2 sounds more reasonable. We also board CCU trauma pts in
our PACU if CCU is full.
2. 4 for us too.
3. We are ACS verified Level II.

I would appreciate it if you would respond to these few questions about your
guidelines for getting patients out of the ED resuscitation room to a bedded
unit or to the OR. This topic was recently discussed on this listserve, but
I did not save any of those responses and now the issue has been brought up
in our facility, so I apologize for bringing it up again so soon.
The questions I have are this:
1. Your expected time from pt arrival in the ED to time to ICU and OR
(ours is 2 hours)
2. Your expected time from pt arrival in the ED to time to the floor (ours
is 4 hours)
3. Are you ACS verified. (We are ACS verified)
I would be most grateful if you would take a moment to respond. If there is
interest, I can tabulate the responses and share with the list.
Thank you
Robynn
