Key result
A survey of 17 Midwest hospitals found that routine continuous ST-segment monitoring was used in only 47% of progressive care units and 41% of intensive care units.
Despite consensus guidelines recommending continuous ST-segment monitoring for specific cardiac patients, clinical implementation remains inconsistent, necessitating standardized hospital protocols.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Low adoption of continuous ST-segment monitoring persists in critical care units; leaves open the impact of standardized protocols on ischemia detection.

Sandau et al. (2009) conducted a review in Acute coronary syndrome / Myocardial ischemia. Continuous ST-segment monitoring was evaluated. A survey of 17 Midwest hospitals found that routine continuous ST-segment monitoring was used in only 47% of progressive care units and 41% of intensive care units.
