Promoting Change in Practice for Respiratory Failure

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)

In brief

Approximately 300,000 Hispanic individuals experience respiratory failure each year in the U.S. Hispanic patients are twice as likely to die from respiratory failure as non-Hispanic patients. There is an urgent need to identify and remediate mechanisms that increase risk of death from respiratory failure. The team's preliminary work identified two potential mechanisms: Hispanic patients with respiratory failure are more likely to be deeply sedated and less likely to receive physical therapy than non-Hispanic patients, which are both associated with mortality and poor long-term functional outcomes. The overall objective of this proposal is to improve outcomes for patients with respiratory failure through changes in intensive care unit (ICU) practice. This trial will refine and pilot an intervention to promote guideline-concordant care. The team's preliminary intervention will be iteratively refined through patient, family, and clinician engagement and piloted at two U.S. ICUs. The outcome of this study will be an intervention aimed at reducing mortality from respiratory failure.
