Due to a limited ICU capacity patients can be rejected at both the Operating Theater (OT) and at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) within hospitals. The corresponding ICU-rejection probability is an important service factor for hospitals. A simple expression for this probability is not available. Withcthe ICU capacity (number of ICU beds), this paper provides analytic support for:(i)AnM|G|c|c-approximation.(ii)A secureM|G|c−1|c−1 upper bound.The upper bound can be of practical interest so as to dimension the size of an ICU to secure a sufficiently small rejection probability.
