Feasibility and Patient Perceptions of Video Declarations Regarding End-of-Life Decisions by Hospitalized Patients

Abstract

Findings show that asking hospitalized patients to make videos describing their advance care planning preferences was feasible and acceptable. While the majority described their wishes around CPR and intubation, a fair amount of uncertainty remained. Further research is needed to support patients in describing their wishes clearly and test the effectiveness of video declarations to promote care concordant with preferences.
