TL;DR: The current Manitoba CICU model of 24-hour intensive care physician/cardiac anesthesiologist staffing in postoperative cardiac surgery care is associated with reduced transfusion of blood components, decreased requirement for mechanical ventilation, and shorter hospital length of stay.

TL;DR: The case of a patient who presented to a centre with concomitant "seasonal" H1N1 influenza A myocarditis further complicated by pan-myositis is described, which motivated a detailed review of the literature, in which it was found that patients with influenzaMyocarditis/ myositis were predominantly female and young and continue to have a high incidence of morbidity and mortality.

The benefits of 24/7 in-house intensivist coverage for prolonged-stay cardiac surgery patients
Kanwal Kumar,Rohit K. Singal,Rizwan A. Manji,Ryan Zarychanski,Dean D. Bell,Darren H. Freed,Rakesh C. Arora +6 more
TL;DR: For patients requiring a prolonged ICU stay, the model of 24/7 in-house intensivist coverage was not associated with changes in ICU LOS, nor ICU and 30-day mortality, however a reduction in blood product use, ICU complications, and total hospital LOS was observed.
