Figures
Fig. 1: Duty hours per week of 9 senior fellows working in a tertiary pediatric critical care unit. Two 4-week blocks, totalling 48 rostered weeks, are represented. The bars reflect the number of hours worked per week for the number of weeks noted. For example, the first bar demonstrates that the fellows worked 55 hours per week for 11 of the 48 weeks; the last bar shows that 105 hours were worked per week for 2 of the 48 weeks.
Fig. 2: Number of pages received by the senior fellows during each of 35 on-call, “24-hour” shifts in a tertiary pediatric critical care unit. For example, the second bar demonstrates that, during 8 of the 35 shifts, the fellows received 20 pages per shift.
Fig. 3: Total time the senior fellows reported being asleep during each of the 35 shifts. For example, the first bar indicates that the fellows did not sleep during 5 of the 35 shifts; the last bar shows that they slept 4 hours per shift during 2 of the 35 shifts.
