VIDEO Trial Summary

This trial found that a video decision aid may help surrogates of admitted ICU patients make more informed decisions.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for ICU patients aged 65 or older with life-threatening illnesses like severe heart, kidney, lung, gastrointestinal, or cancer conditions. They must be critically ill and not expected to survive the hospital stay. Participants need an English-speaking representative as they can't make decisions themselves. Those under state guardianship or imminently dying are excluded.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests a video decision aid designed to help surrogates of ICU patients make informed choices about care. It's a randomized controlled trial where some will use the video aid while others won't, allowing researchers to compare outcomes.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves a decision-making tool rather than medication, traditional physical side effects aren't applicable. However, there may be emotional or psychological impacts on surrogates making decisions based on the video.
