Abstract
Long held assumptions of poor prognoses for patients with haematological disease have meant that intensivists are often reluctant to admit them to the intensive care unit (ICU) During the recent Covid pandemic this was heightened further given the increased pressure on the UK's ICU beds. This led us to evaluate our utilisation of our ICU over the last 6 years in order to rationalise our own requests and justify continued ICU support during this pandemic. If ICU access was temporarily withdrawn as it was to a variable extent peak pandemic, how would it have affected outcome of acute leukaemias or aggressive malignancies.
