Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
This study is a single-centered non-randomized interventional pilot trial to assess the feasibility of practicing the ‘home at ICU’ concept and its superiority over conventional intensive care. The primary outcome measures will be the feasibility of the ’Home in ICU’ care, ICU length of stay, and the presence of delirium on admission, during ICU stay, and at discharge. Also, bedsores and ICU-acquired infections at discharge will be noted. The secondary outcome will be burnout symptoms, workload among nurses and doctors,  and patient well-being assessed using questionnaires. Others will be incidences of near-miss events, time taken to ask for consent, and time to obtain consent.
