Family satisfaction with care provided to patients deceased in intensive care unit.

Background & Objective: Patient's family satisfaction is a crucial but often overlooked indicator of the quality of the intensive care unit (ICU). The goal was to assess how satisfied patients' families were with the treatment they received for terminally ill patients, where we worked with them to create a care plan.

Methods: The study was conducted in ICU at Pakistan Kidney and Liver Institute and Research Center (PKLI & RC), Lahore, Pakistan which is a quaternary care center between December 1 2022 and April 30 2023.

Experience of Sustained Low-Efficiency Dialysis (SLED) in an Intensive Care Unit of a Quaternary Care Hospital.
