Summary
This completed study looked at how safety-focused the culture is in French intensive care units (ICUs). Researchers surveyed nearly 4,800 staff members to measure safety attitudes and linked them to how teams review serious medical errors. The goal was to understand current safety practices and identify areas for improvement. No treatments or devices were tested.
