Feasibility of a Digital Goals-of-Care Decision Aid for Clinicians and Families of Patients With SABI

Description

The goal is to pilot test a highly accessible, web-based, pragmatic, scalable intervention to overcome ongoing problems with high stakes decision-making by surrogate decision-makers of patients in ICUs with severe acute brain injury (SABI), including those with moderate-severe traumatic brain injury, large hemispheric acute ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage.

Conditions
