Can a phone call help ICU survivors heal? small study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT06983496
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether a pharmacist-led telehealth follow-up program is feasible for people who survived a critical illness in the ICU. About 24 adults who needed a breathing machine or stayed in the ICU for at least a week will be randomly assigned to receive either standard care or telehealth visits at one and three months after leaving the hospital. The goal is to see if this approach can be done smoothly, not yet to prove it improves health.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
telehealth follow-up appointments with a clinical pharmacist and intensivist support
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a telehealth model for post-ICU care is practical and worth testing in a larger trial.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 24 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It focuses on feasibility, not on proving health benefits.
