What do ICU patients really want? new study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07417592
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at what patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) consider most important during their stay, and compares that with what their family members and healthcare team think. Researchers will enroll 100 adults expected to stay in the ICU for more than 72 hours, along with their chosen relatives and caregivers. The goal is to see how well everyone agrees on priorities, which could help improve communication and care.
