🩺 NACCS Webinar Q&A Spotlight
Predicting ICU outcomes is never easy. If we try to prognosticate for too long, our intensive care beds may become stretched: an unsavoury reality, but sometimes unavoidable in a resource-limited system.
Early pessimistic predictions might free beds but at what cost? Modern data show patients can wake far beyond day 2–3, even after weeks. ⏳
When prognosis is uncertain, giving time can save lives.
💭 The question for clinicians and policymakers: Do we prioritize empty ICU beds… or unexpected survivors?

📢 NACCS Neuroanaesthesia & Neurocritical Care Webinar — Audience Q&A
❓ Question for Dr. Susanne Muehlschlegel:
What strategies help keep shared decision-making genuinely “shared” when the clinical team and family begin with different expectations?
💬 Dr. Muehlschlegel’s answer:
To keep shared decision-making truly shared, clinicians must step away from telling families what they “should” do. These choices are value-based, and families may prioritise differently — sometimes choosing options we wouldn’t choose for our own loved ones. ❤️
Provide a balanced outlook with best/worst/most-likely scenarios 📊, be mindful of personal biases 🧠, and avoid clinical nihilism 🚫. Respect when families value outcomes differently — including prioritising life over predicted QOL. ✨ Shared decision-making means giving a balanced outlook, avoiding nihilism, and respecting when families’ values differ from ours — even if they prioritise life over predicted QOL.
