Since the creation of intensive care units in the early 1960s, the central question of how to operate and staff them has continued to be an ongoing discussion. Early studies demonstrated decreased morality when staffing was altered from remote providers to full-time on-site providers. In addition to the shift towards full-time onsite providers, the structure of daily care has also undergone significant paradigm changes. Several studies have revealed the importance and benefit of multidisciplinary rounds with direct and open communication of daily goals. Particularly for cardiac patients in shock, two recent studies have provided hard data demonstrating a significant decrease in mortality in ICUs with full-time onsite providers. This benefit was even more pronounced for patients supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. These data support the practice of intensive care with a) full-time onsite provider staffing, b) in the setting of multidisciplinary rounds, and c) a safe environment with open communication between team members. Central Message: The standard of care for the cardiac patient should be by full time intensivists, including cardiac surgeons. Multidisciplinary rounds and a culture of collaboration are crucial to providing high quality care. Figure 1: High intensity critical care in a Korean CICU significantly decreases cardiovascular mortality in overall patients, and even more dramatically in patients supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) [10]. Although intensive care units came into being in the early 1960s, the concept of how to appropriately staff them started to take form in the early 1980s. One of the first studies addressing this issue in 1984
