Brief Summary

This study is a large pragmatic stepped-wedge trial of electronic health record (EHR)-based implementation strategies informed by behavioral economic principles to increase lung-protective ventilation...

Detailed Description

The study is a 5-arm, stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial of electronic health record (EHR)-based implementation strategies set in 12 community and academic intensive care units (ICUs) in 5 hospita...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Aged 18 and over; AND
  • Admission to 1 of the 12 participating ICUs; AND
  • Undergoing mechanical ventilation

Exclusion

  • The episode of MV lasts less than 12 hours, because we believe that the evidence-based practice may not apply to these patients nor alter their outcomes.
  • The patient is on minimal settings for the entirety of MV, defined as a spontaneous mode (e.g., pressure support ventilation) with pressure support \<10 Centimeters of Water Column (cmH2O), AND positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) \<8 cmH20, AND fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) \<50%, because the clinical significance of spontaneous tidal volumes is unknown and low tidal volumes may not be beneficial or desirable.
  • Goals of care are documented as comfort measures only (as identified through their "code status" field in the EHR) during the first 72 hours during episode of MV, because mechanical ventilation is managed differently during care focused exclusively on comfort and low tidal volume ventilation may not be appropriate, nor would it likely influence clinical outcomes.
  • There is no height documented in the EHR at the time of initiation of MV, because we will be unable to estimate ideal body weight, a necessary parameter to calculate the primary outcome, and because they will not receive the interventions.
  • The height documented is less than 4 feet, because the formula for ideal body weight does not hold true below this height.
