TL;DR: In this article, the authors used semistructured, in-depth interviews to collect experiences from bereaved family members of patients who died from severe COVID-19 in 12 ICUs during the first wave of the pandemic in France, from the time of hospital admission until after the patient's death.

TL;DR: The technical aspects and the adverse events associated with the procedure in critically ill patients in the intensive care unit setting are described.

TL;DR: In this paper, a cross-sectional study was conducted in 16 ICUs during the second wave of COVID-19 in France, where 1,203 HCPs completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (for post-traumatic stress disorder), and the Maslach Burnout Inventory.

TL;DR: Bereavement research is possible after loss of a loved one in the ICU and may even be beneficial for family members, and exploring families’ experiences of research participation helps define specific family needs in this setting.
