Enhanced Recovery After Intensive Care (ERIC) - a Multi-Center Stepped Wedge Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating ICU Usual Care and Tele-ICU for Critical Illness. Completed, enrolled 1,463 participants across 13 sites.
Detailed Summary
The primary objective of the multi-center stepped-wedge cluster-randomized controlled trial ERIC is to evaluate the effects of a multi-component telemedicine-based intervention delivered by the ICU on the adherence to quality indicators (QI) in intensive care medicine compared to usual care. Critically ill patients treated on the interventional condition receive daily tele-medical rounds during their ICU stay. Further secondary objectives are to demonstrate whether the intervention improves patient outcomes 3 and 6 months post ICU discharge, compared to usual care.
