First observation every few hours is fine, but their is little coordination between hospital workers so people are often interrupted multiple times an hour which cuts the time for the next interruption.
That’s cost effective for the hospital but simply not viable longer term. To be clear waking someone up every 2.5 - 3 hours is very different from waking them up every 2.5 hours and another 2+ random times during the night.
As long as somone is only in the ICU for 72 hours it’s not a huge deal, but start talking a week and it’s a significant issue.
