Are caregivers knowledgeable and interested in post-ICU outcomes?

Long-term outcome after intensive care is a matter of growing interest in the critical care community. As better knowledge of post-ICU outcomes might help improve admission policies, processes of care, or end-of-life decisions, this topic is increasingly covered in medical journals. Access to this information may still be limited for ICU caregivers who play a pivotal role in the delivery of intensive care as well as in decision-making that lead to limitation of care. Whether ICU caregivers have a fair knowledge of long-term outcomes of ICU patients is unknown.
