New ICU strategy aims to close deadly gap for hispanic patients with respiratory failure
Knowledge-focused Not yet recruitingHispanic patients are twice as likely to die from respiratory failure as non-Hispanic patients, partly due to deeper sedation and less physical therapy. This pilot study will test a 'safer sedation bundle'—a set of tools and practices to help ICU staff follow guidelines more clos…
