Multiprofessional Critical Care Review: Adult 2024 (MCCRCA24ON)-Post-intensive Care Syndrome

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Post-ICU syndrome (PICS) affects many survivors of critical illness, leading to issues like cognitive impairment, physical frailty, and emotional challenges. The Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) coined the term and promotes initiatives like the Thrive program for survivor support. Effective strategies include early physical therapy, maximizing nutrition, and family engagement. However, standardized post-ICU care remains lacking. The rise of post-ICU clinics incorporating multidisciplinary teams is crucial for effective care transitions. Ongoing efforts aim to create better recovery pathways and increase awareness of the syndrome among healthcare providers and patients alike.
