Family Involvement in ICU

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Evidence-Based Critical Care

Abstract

Involvement of family members is imperative to collaborative, ethical and patient-centered care in the Intensive Care Unit. Family involvement is a broad term that encompasses participation in caregiving, decision making and rounds, being present for procedures including cardiopulmonary resuscitation, as well as improving patient safety. Family members can also be involved after their own loved one has left the ICU in influencing and developing ICU policies through participation in Patient Family Advisory Councils (PFACs). Research is ongoing into the best way to achieve collaboration and integrate with family members. The current evidence behind specific interventions is the subject of this chapter.
