About this study

Official title: Terminal Weaning of Mechanical Ventilation or Extubation in Anticipation of Death in the Intensive Care Unit: Impact on Relatives, Care Givers and the Dying Process - A Prospective, Multicenter, Observational Study

The purpose of the study is to assess the dying process in critically ill patients with decision to withdraw invasive mechanical ventilation in anticipation of death and to compare effects of extubation and those of terminal weaning of mechanical ventilation on relatives and care givers. The investigators primary hypothesis is that extubation is associated with less symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorders in relatives, as compared to terminal weaning.
