Study Summary

This is a single center, pilot, randomized, single-blind, usual care controlled, pragmatic clinical trial of a post-ICU palliative care consultation intervention in older (age ≥50 years) survivors of acute respiratory failure. Aim 1: To conduct a pilot post-ICU palliative care consultation intervention trial among frail older ICU survivors and their surrogates. Hypothesis:The Investigators can achieve an adequate enrollment rate, protocol adherence, and intervention fidelity. Aim 2: To estimate effect sizes and variability for changes in symptoms at hospital discharge and 1 month, and to estimate hospice referral rates and acute-care readmission rates at 1 and 3 months. Hypothesis: Effect sizes and feasibility data will inform and support future post-ICU palliative care studies focused on improving ICU survivorship. Exploratory Aim. To assess the use of methylphenidate that is recommended and dosed by the palliative care physician for the treatment of moderate-to-severe fatigue. Hypothesis: (1) Not all patients with moderate-to-severe fatigue will be recommended for methylphenidate therapy. (2) Patients prescribed methylphenidate for treatment of moderate-to-severe fatigue after critical illness will adhere to methylphenidate therapy.
