As user lima-lima pointed out above, this most probably is an artifact resulting from different definitions of what constitutes an ICU bed - for example pediatric and neoanatal beds are included for the US, but excluded in the European numbers. It also fails the sniff test: The US has less total hospital beds than almost every other industrial nation, but at the same time the most ICU beds?

It only has less total beds if you exclude outpatient facility beds.

  Are these included in the count of the other countries? This is exactly what I mean: Without the same definitions for all countries, the numbers per se are not really comparable.
