Key Points

To determine whether an educational video showing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and resuscitation preference options improves knowledge and decision making among ICU patients and their surrogates.
Randomized, unblinded trial conducted at a single medical ICU.
A total of 208 patients and surrogates were enrolled, with N=103 randomized to usual care (pamphlet plus routine discussions) and N=105 to usual care plus an 8-minute video depicting CPR and a simulated code.
Median total knowledge scores on a 0-to-15 scale were significantly higher in the video group compared to usual care (13 vs. 10, p < 0.0001).
Participants in the video group exhibited greater comprehension of CPR purpose, options, and terminology, although documented resuscitation preferences did not differ significantly between groups.
Most participants receiving the intervention found the video helpful for decision making (98%) and reported they would recommend it to others (99%).
