We investigate the complexities and interplay between the concepts of prognostic uncertainty and patient preferences as they relate to the delivery of goal-concordant care to patients with severe acute brain injuries (SABI) in the Neurological Intensive Care Unit (Neuro-ICU).
Patients with SABI in the Neuro-ICU have unique palliative care needs due to sudden, often unexpected changes in personhood and quality of life. A substantial amount of uncertainty is inherent and poses a challenge to both the patient's prognosis and treatment preferences. The delivery of goal-concordant care can be difficult to achieve.
我们探讨预后不确定性概念与患者偏好之间的复杂性及相互作用,这些概念与在神经重症监护病房(Neuro-ICU)为重症急性脑损伤(SABI)患者提供目标一致的护理相关。
由于人格和生活质量突然且往往出人意料的变化,Neuro-ICU中的SABI患者有独特的姑息治疗需求。大量的不确定性是内在的,对患者的预后和治疗偏好都构成挑战。实现目标一致的护理可能很难做到。
