Kantner-Rumplmair W et al. - Occupational stress is a well-known phenomenon in ICUs; in fact, a relatively high percentage of intensivists and intensive care nurses lose the ability to recover. Personal, relational, and institutonal conditions can lead to burnout. The establishment of Heavy Case Conferences as a communication forum in the ICU is a readily accepted instrument for team development and supervision.
