End of Life Clinical Trial
Official title:
(DIS)AGreement of Relatives Regarding Ethical End-of-life Decisions in ICU.
In the ICU, the vast majority of patients die following a life-sustaining therapies (LST) limitation decision. Most often, the patient is not able to express himself and has not made his wishes known beforehand, for example in the form of advance directives. The "relatives" are then the only recourse to state the patient's wishes, without any guarantee that they are aware of them. In France, the final decision is made by the physician (or the medical team) who is responsible for it. In this context, disagreements and even real legal conflicts on LST limitation decisions between relatives and physicians seem to be more and more frequent. To our knowledge, few data exist on the frequency of these disagreements over LST limitation decisions. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the frequency of disagreements between relatives and physicians over LST limitation decisions in adult intensive care.

To our knowledge, few data exist on the frequency of these disagreements over LST limitation decisions. Purpose The main objective of this study is to evaluate the frequency of disagreements between relatives and physicians over LST limitation decisions in adult intensive care. The secondary objectives are: - To assess the level of agreement/disagreement between family members and physicians regarding LST limitation decisions - To assess the proportion of disagreements experienced as conflictual - To assess the impact of the disagreement on the LST limitation decision (implementation of the decision, time between the decision and its implementation, length of hospitalization...) - To describe possible factors that contribute to disagreement and conflict - To describe national LST limitation decision-making practices. ;
