Abstract in brief

  • The study aimed to assess how a palliative care intervention affects clinical outcomes and family experiences in a high-risk ICU setting.
  • The intervention involved palliative care clinicians joining daily ICU rounds to better address patient needs, resulting in more frequent and quicker family meetings than before.
  • Although there were improvements in hospital stay duration and reduced PTSD symptoms among families, no significant differences in family satisfaction or quality of dying were found, likely due to limited power in the study.

@DWCHUI #HAPC in the ICU doesn’t worsen mortality and can even improve survival in cancer patients. If a person is dying regardless, you have kept your promise to care always and not abandon https://t.co/SFgsCA5J1B https://t.co/tohZ4QQ3XN https://t.co/Z6ekOdLOv1
