Can better talks in the ICU ease family stress and help patients?
NCT ID NCT05780918
Summary
This study is testing a special communication tool designed to help doctors have clearer conversations with families of seriously injured older adults in the intensive care unit (ICU). It involves about 4,500 patients, 1,500 family members, and 1,600 medical staff across the country. The goal is to see if using this tool improves how families feel about communication, reduces stress and burnout for doctors and nurses, and helps patients spend less time in the ICU.
