Abstract
The scope of communication content of ventilated ICU patients was broad, extending far beyond task-focused subject matter. Content ranged from conveying symptom-related messages to active participation in medical discussions, to conversing with family about a range of complex multi-dimensional issues, to sharing their own psychoemotional experiences. These patient-centered needs should be recognized and addressed in communication strategies.
