We adjusted for age, sex, illness severity, and number of surgeries. Among 1,515 patients (703 baseline, 812 quality improvement), total therapy time increased from 71,994 to 115,389 minutes and from 42,985 to 93,015 minutes, respectively, in each ICU. In the cardiovascular ICU per patient therapy increased 17% (95% CI, \u20134.9 to 43.9; <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic> = 0.13), and in the surgical ICU, 26% (95% CI, \u20131 to 59.4; <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic> = 0.06). In the cardiovascular ICU, there was a 27.4% decrease (95% CI, \u201352.5 to 10.3; <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic> = 0.13) in ICU length of stay, and a 12.4% decrease (95% CI, \u201337.9 to 23.3; <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic> = 0.45) in total length of stay, whereas in the surgical ICU, the adjusted ICU length of stay increased 19.9% (95% CI, \u201331.6 to 108.6; <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic> = 0.52) and total length of stay increased 52.8% (95% CI, 1.0\u2013130.2; <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic> = 0.04).
