An Exploratory Investigation into the Roles of Critical Care Response Teams in End-of-Life Care

CONCLUSIONS: This research aids in understanding for the first time CCRT roles in EOLC from the perspectives of individual CCRT members themselves. While CCRTs provide unique multidisciplinary expertise to evaluate the utility of intensive care treatments, opportunities exist to support CCRTs in EOLC, such as dedicated EOLC training, protocols for advance care planning, documentation, and transitions to palliative care.PMID:34336279 | PMC:PMC8324371 | DOI:10.1155/2021/4937241
