Evaluating an advance care plan for ICU patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how well advance care planning documents are put into action for people who stay in the intensive care unit (ICU). If you participated, it may help the hospital improve how patients’ wishes are followed during serious illness.
