Promoting Change in Practice for Respiratory Failure: the PRECIPICE Study
PROJECT SUMMARY Background: Approximately 300,000 Hispanic individuals experience respiratory failure each year in the U.S. Hispanic patients are twice as likely to die from respiratory failure as non-Hispanic patients. There is an urgent need to identify and remediate mechanisms that increase risk of death from respiratory failure. The team’s preliminary work identified two potential mechanisms: Hispanic patients with respiratory failure are more likely to be deeply sedated and less likely to receive physical therapy than non-Hispanic patients, which are both associated with mortality and poor long-term functional outcomes. The overall objective of this proposal is to improve outcomes for…
