In an article recently published in the journal Anesthesia & Analgesia, Dr. Farzan Sasangohar, assistant professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering and colleagues at Houston Methodist Hospital, outline the effects of fatigue and burnout on intensive care unit (ICU) workers, and the steps that can be taken to mitigate these symptoms.

"The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated an already existing problem within our health care systems and is exposing the pernicious implications of provider burnout," Sasangohar said.
