BEST-ICU Trial Summary

This trial aims to evaluate different strategies that can be used to help healthcare systems adopt effective practices for treating critically ill adults with known health disparities. The two strategies being studied are real-time audit and feedback,

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 19 who are admitted to the ICU, have been on a ventilator there, and stayed at least 24 hours. It's not for patients already on long-term ventilation from home or care facilities, nor prisoners.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests two strategies in ICUs: real-time audit and feedback plus nurse-led implementation facilitation. The goal is to see if these improve the use of ABCDEF bundle practices among critically ill adults.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on adoption of care practices rather than medication, traditional side effects aren't applicable. However, there may be indirect effects related to changes in ICU management protocols.
