Contextual factors and use of heuristics in the care of critically ill patients by intensivists during the COVID-19 pandemic: a quasi-experimental vignette study in Chile
The participating intensivists showed high variability and sensitivity to specific contextual factors. The use of statu quo and availability heuristics was observed under certain conditions. This analysis could help improve decision-making during health crises.
