What do you mean "up to family"? 500 people outside need ICU beds, 6 patients have just died, so you have 6 new beds open. Which of the 500 do you treat?

- jcrubino 7y agoFamily = Next of Kin They are assigned a triage score and that score will be updated routinely. As beds open, the people who fit the criteria get the bed. I believe that is fairly standard in a public hospital type setting. I have only ever worked in public and military icu, wards, er and trauma rooms so I do not know too many details on how that works in practice.
