You have two techs doing 6 PSGs? The AASM has set two patients per tech as a guideline for staffing. In your situation, if both techs end up dashing into a room to take care of an urgent problem, 5 patients are being ignored; if one tech has to go into a room and get a patient up for a bathroom break, the other tech is monitoring 5 patients all alone. You see no problem with this?
