ACE-ICU Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Post-Intervention Group (Geriatrics Bundle)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Enrolled participants in the intervention arm will receive all 3 components of the geriatrics bundle: occupational therapy (in addition to physical therapy) upon enrollment in the ICU, a portable amplifying device upon enrollment in the ICU, and a de-prescribing intervention by the ICU pharmacist (in conjunction with the medical team) upon ICU-to-floor transfer.
Group II: Pre-Intervention Group (Control)Active Control1 Intervention
Participants in the control arm will be enrolled prior to implementation of the geriatrics bundle to gather preliminary data about the secondary outcomes.
