ii Understanding and Mitigating the Interruptions Experienced by Intensive Care Unit Nurses
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurses get interrupted frequently. Although interruptions take cognitive resources from a primary task and may hinder performance, they may also convey critical information. Effective management of interruptions in ICUs requires the understanding of interruption characteristics, the context in which interruption happens, and interruption content (3 Cs of interruption). Using this proposed framework, two observational studies were conducted in a cardiovascular ICU (CVICU) at a Canadian teaching hospital. The focus of the first study was to understand the anatomy of interruptions, whereas the second one evaluated an awareness-display designed to help minimize interruptions that occur at inopportune times. Finally, a laboratory study was conducted to study a phenomenon that was observed during the observational studies, namely, nested interruptions. The first observational study revealed that the rate of interruptions with personal content observed during low-severity tasks (outcome if an error occurs) was significantly higher compared to medium- and high-severity tasks. This finding suggested that other personnel may tend to regulate their interruptions based on nurses ’ tasks. However, given that nurses ’ tasks are

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
