        abstract = {Mechanically ventilated patients in intensive care units (ICUs) are unable to communicate verbally due to endotracheal intubation, resulting in significant distress, anxiety, and unmet needs. Communication boards—simple, low-cost pictorial tools depicting basic needs, emotions, and pain scales—have emerged as practical aids to bridge this communication gap. Despite growing global evidence documenting satisfaction improvements of 20–30% following board use, localized validation in rural Indian ICU settings remains scarce, creating an urgent evidence-practice gap.

Aim: To assess the effectiveness of a communication board on the level of satisfaction among mechanically ventilated patients at the ICU of Narayan Medical College and Hospital (NMCH), Jamuhar, Bihar.},
