title: [Cost estimation of an intensive care unit].
abstract: The cost of health services has increased tremendously due to advances in technology, and the cost of intensive care units forms an important part of total hospital costs. A survey done over a 3-month period of all human and material resources utilised in a surgical intensive care unit showed that the average cost amounted to R1 298 per patient per day.
