Delphi consensus to guide mechanical insufflation-exsufflation use in the ICU
A panel of ICU and lung specialists will use a structured survey process to agree on best practices for using mechanical insufflation-exsufflation to help airway clearance in critically ill patients.
-
Behavioral health collaborative care for family members of ICU survivors in the Post-ICU clinic pilot
This pilot tests a telehealth-based behavioral health program using the NeuroFlow app for family members of ICU survivors to try to reduce anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms.
