“…The leading causes of mortality are cardiovascular collapses (Benjamin et al, 2017 ), multi-organ failures (Marshall et al, 1995 ), and sepsis (Kissoon et al, 2016 ). Studies have shown that prolonged hospital stays lead to increased life-threatening outcomes, which are associated with adverse events and other risks in the ICU environment (Celi et al, 2011 ; Hunziker et al, 2012 ), such as severe infection (Fagon et al, 1994 ; Ribas et al, 2011 ), cardiac arrest (Nemati et al, 2011 ), extended invasive ventilation (Fagon et al, 1993 ; de Rooij et al, 2006 ), mortality within 1 year (Mandelbaum et al, 2011 ; Celi et al, 2012 ), ICU/hospital readmissions (Fialho et al, 2012 ), acute kidney injury (Mandelbaum et al, 2011 ; Celi et al, 2012 ), and hypotension (Lee and Mark, 2010 ; Hug et al, 2011 ; Lee et al, 2012 ). Studies also report that these complications will also lead to a significant increase in the costs incurred (Wheeler et al, 2011 ; Kwon et al, 2012 ; Hutchinson et al, 2013 ).…”
