Backup behavior—when clinicians help each other via verbal assistance or task completion in their roles—is essential for effective teamwork in the intensive care unit (ICU) but is not well understood. Exploring how interprofessional team members provide backup may guide future interventions. In this mixed-methods study, we examine who, how often, why, and under what circumstances ICU clinicians provide backup in mechanical ventilation care.
