Proactive Palliative Care for Patients With Ventricular Assist Devices (VAD) and Their Families
2013年9月5日 更新者:Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
Randomized Controlled Trial of Proactive Palliative Care for Patients With Ventricular Assist Devices and Their Families
The primary aim of the study is to provide "proof of concept" to demonstrate that patients with Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) and caregivers are willing to be enrolled in a randomized trial of palliative care and that such a study is feasible.
Secondary aims include demonstrating improvement in symptoms (physical and psychological) for intervention patients and their caregivers as compared to control patients and caregivers.
The investigators will also examine differences in utilization of healthcare services, mortality, and completion of advance directives between intervention and control patients.

详细说明
A ventricular assist device is an implanted mechanical device which augments the pumping function of the heart's ventricles.
The number of patients with VADs is expected to increase in an exponential manner in the years to come as device technology improves and continues to show a survival benefit.
The investigators propose a randomized controlled trial of a proactive palliative care intervention for patients with VADs and their caregivers.
Patients randomized to palliative care will receive ongoing counseling and symptom assessment as well as clarification and documentation of goals of care, starting before implantation and continuing throughout the course of the study.
The intervention is delivered primarily in the outpatient setting by a palliative care nurse practitioner.
Intervention patients will also be followed by the inpatient palliative care consultation service when hospitalized for their initial VAD implantation and during any subsequent hospitalizations as needed.
Control patients will receive usual care as provided by the VAD clinical team.
Data collection will be performed by a research assistant at Mount Sinai (blinded to randomization) who conducts baseline assessments in person, and then follow-up assessments over the phone.
The primary aim of the study is to provide "proof of concept" to demonstrate that patients and caregivers are willing to be enrolled in a randomized trial of palliative care and that such a study is feasible.
Secondary aims include demonstrating improvement in symptoms (physical and psychological) for intervention patients and their caregivers as compared to control patients and caregivers.
