Doctors test new talk strategy to cut unnecessary ICU suffering
NCT ID NCT04181294
Summary
This study tested if a new communication strategy could reduce invasive, potentially unhelpful treatments for very sick patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Doctors and nurses were trained to use 'time-limited trials,' which are clear agreements with families to try treatments for a set period and then reassess. The goal was to see if this approach could shorten ICU stays and reduce aggressive treatments without changing whether patients survived their hospital stay.
