<div><div>Brief Description about the Project
The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is designed to support life during critical illness; however, in patients with advanced or terminal conditions, continued or escalated intensive interventions may offer limited benefit and instead prolong suffering for patients and families.
In India, organ-based protocols and parameter-based interventions in ICUs, along with the pro-life sociocultural expectations, gaps in prognostication communication-skills, defensive medical practices, and ambiguity around medico-legal frameworks, have all contributed to institution of non-beneficial disproportionate treatments in the terminally ill. Although there are guidelines developed jointly by the Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine and the Indian Association of Palliative Care, their implementation in routine ICU approach and practices remain inadequate. To address these gaps, the Multifaceted Comprehensive Appropriate Care Package (MCACP) is being developed as a structured, evidence-based framework integrating palliative care principles into ICU workflows.
This study aims to develop and pilot the MCACP in ICU setting to, use timely triggers, refine implementation strategies, identify facilitators and barriers, and assess preliminary outcomes, including quality of dying, family satisfaction, and care de-escalation practices. Focus will be on developing methods for appropriate and timely integration of structured palliative care to maintain care-continuum, and quality of life up to, and including the end-of-life period.
