Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may not qualify if:

  • Persons who are pregnant
  • Persons who are incarcerated
  • Acute surgical catastrophe without potential for intervention or source control
  • Cardiac arrest with unknown neurologic status, including patients being treated with therapeutic hypothermia
  • Presence of severe acute brain injury or severe dementia
  • Cardiogenic, neurogenic, obstructive, or post-cardiotomy shock
  • Acute pancreatitis with no established source of infection
  • Diabetic ketoacidosis as primary pathology
  • Need for mechanical circulatory support
  • Prolonged acute illness with \> 24 hours of pressor needs at enrollment and/or end organ damage with further care deemed to be "futile."
  • NOTE: The time resets if a new inciting event leads to SAMOF.
  • For example, if a patient has sepsis stabilized but requires operative intervention for source control within the initial 24 hours of admission and returns to the ICU with SAMOF, the patient is again eligible for randomization for the next 24 hours.
  • Bedbound state or poor baseline functional status with ECOG performance status score ≥ 3
  • Underlying terminal illness/malignancy with \< 6 months life expectancy
  • Advanced chronic liver disease/cirrhosis with evidence of portal hypertension
  • +2 more criteria
