Abstract
Telemetry and Intensive Care unit beds are in demand, thus, utilization are often lean. Thus, these patient are critically ill & futile outcome, but family wants everything done. These patients remain on medical-surgical units, on inotropes/vasoactive drugs; care complexity & workload increases with a lack of specific guidelines for care.
