Study Summary

Each year, millions of Americans are admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU). For more than half of them, ICU admission initiates a cascade of decisions about treatment and end-of-life care.This is particularly the case for patients with chronic critical illness, a life-limiting syndrome. Most (74%-82%) ICU patients who require mechanical ventilation have transient or persistent cognitive impairment that precludes them from making their own healthcare decisions. Among ICU patients, the chronically critically ill (CCI) are at highest risk for cognitive impairment and thus require a surrogate decision maker (SDM), usually a family member. SDMs for the critically ill often describe high states of psychological stress associated with the uncertainty of the patient's condition and their decision making role. The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of two decision support interventions for end-of-life care delivered to SDMs of CCI patients. This will be the first study to test interventions tailored to the unique needs of the SDMs of CCI patients delivered using an interactive avatar based format.
