Abstract
This session reports study findings of reported symptom burden in ICU, at-risk for dying, validating concordance of proxy use, when patients can no longer self-report. An integrated approach to symptom assessment/treatment and strategies to use proxies in ICU will be shared, so clinicians can provide optimal symptom management at EOL.
