Article Synopsis
- - A new tool called the Communication with an Artificial Airway Tool (CAT) was developed to assess communication effectiveness in patients with an artificial airway, aiming to fill a significant gap in outcome measurement.
- - The study involved 15 patients in the ICU, and findings showed that both clinician-reported and patient-reported scales were feasible to administer, with high completion rates and reasonable time frames for each.
- - Preliminary results indicate that the CAT is acceptable for patients and their families and could allow for measurable comparisons of communication interventions, although further research is needed to confirm its reliability and broader applicability.
