摘要

Background: Interprofessional teams working in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) care for patients requiring varying degrees of life sustaining therapy. A patient's code status can help clinicians to understand the appropriate life support measures to deliver to patients in this setting. Members of the interprofessional team, such as physicians and nurses, can experience challenges related to communication when the code status is unclear. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore how nurses and physicians in the ICU experience communication of code status escalations. Methods: A qualitative case study approach was used. Participants were physicians and nurses, working in the medical-surgical ICU of a large, urban academic hospital. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews, observations of health care rounds and a chart review. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: Thematic findings include: (1) engaging in an interprofessional discussion, (2) finding consistent documentation, (3) revisiting the code status, and (4) telling the patient story. The study findings also provide contextual information about participants' experiences of code status communication during the first wave (February 2020 to May 2020) of the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions: The results of this study could inform standard communication frameworks or practices related to dissemination of code status decisions among members of the ICU team.
