Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is an observational follow-up of participants from the SEDATE trial who were admitted to an ICU with electrical storm. Consenting participants will complete standardized questionnaires measuring mental health and health-related quality of life between 3 and 6 months after their ICU admission. Each questionnaire takes about 5–15 minutes to complete, and questionnaires may be completed at a scheduled follow-up visit to the University of Ottawa Heart Institute or by other arranged means. The goal is to describe the mental health burden after ICU care and treatments received during electrical storm to inform improvements in post-ICU care.
