Predicting PTSD risk in emergency intensive care survivors
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at patients who were in the emergency intensive care unit (EICU) to see if we can predict who might develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after leaving the hospital. The goal is to help doctors provide better support and care for those at higher risk.

This study tests whether showing a short information video to adults in the emergency department can lower the chance of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 30 days later. It is open to patients who are stable enough to watch and understand the video and who can follow up via email after a month.
