Adapting a Traumatic Brain Injury Goals-of-Care Decision Aid for Critically Ill Patients to Intracerebral Hemorrhage and Hemispheric Acute Ischemic Stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Families in the neurologic ICU urgently request goals-of-care decision support and shared decision-making tools. We recently developed a goals-of-care decision aid for surrogates of critically ill traumatic brain injury patients using a systematic development process adherent to the International Patient Decision Aid Standards.

Setting

Two academic neurologic ICUs.

Subjects

Twenty family members of patients in the neurologic ICU were recruited from July 2018 to October 2018.
