Abstract

Beliefs and expectations surrounding critical care form a global mosaic. The contemporary reports collected in Part 1 of this book point to cultural foundations, individual and group expectations, and political and economic constructs as the primary drivers of the critical care allocation and delivery systems. Understanding this interplay globally illuminates the options available to transform critical care delivery locally.
