No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This prospective study consisted of (1) a descriptive cross-sectional part describing communication difficulties related to mechanical ventilation as experienced by intensive care professionals and patients, and (2) an experimental randomized crossover part comparing the use of a conventional low-tech communication board and a high-tech eye tracking technology-based device to improve communication effectiveness of intensive care mechanically ventilated patients.

Conditions

  • Mechanical Ventilation Complication
  • Communication, Nonverbal

Interventions

DEVICE

Comparison between communication board and eye tracking

The comparison between the communication board and eye tracking, conducted as a crossover, generates a randomization of the patients (from the cross-sectional part) into two groups and the communication interfaces were divided into two time periods: group A received eye tracking/communication board sequence and group B received communication board/eye tracking sequence.
