The demographics of the global population is changing with increasing numbers of elderly and co-morbid patients. As a result, more elderly patients will be admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), which will bring several ethical challenges. It is for this reason the investigators have chosen to focus on this historically neglected and important patient population. Little is known about how family meetings are implemented in ICUs in Europe and other parts of the world. However, these meetings contribute to building trust between the family and the ICU team. They are a crucial component for planning and conducting a time limited trials as they provide the opportunity for shared-decision making with the ICU team and with other stakeholders. The investigators plan to determine the current practice of communication between ICU staff and patients and their relatives. The investigators expect to find a substantial variation in approaches to family meetings. This information may then help design and further investigate targeted interventions enabling shared decision-making focused on family and patient values. The investigators research aim is to to investigate whether Family meetings are used in ICUs across Europe and other regions and, if so, how they are conducted and the influence on patient-centred outcome measures.
