Interventions
Complex intervention
A complex intervention is carried out in the intensive care unit. This includes: * telemedical consultations by specialized palliative care experts from external institutions for the respective hospital staff * the training of hospital staff in the intensive care unit in basic palliative care and * the use of checklists for the early identification of eligible patients and the structured recording of palliative care needs. The efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the complex intervention will be investigated using a controlled clinical trial in a cluster-randomized controlled design. In addition, as part of the multicenter clinical study in WP 2 staff, patients and relatives will also be surveyed.
Routine treatment
No complex intervention is established, just routine procedures.
