SCCM Resource Library-Functional Outcomes of PICU Survivorship Pre-COVID-19

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Nivi Pinto discusses the functional outcomes and survivorship of children in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) before the COVID-19 pandemic. She highlights the history of PICU survivorship and the decline in mortality rates over time. However, she emphasizes that the measure of success is not just survival, but also the ability for children to thrive after critical illness. Pinto explains that functional outcomes refer to the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social health problems that children face after leaving the PICU. She discusses the prevalence of these functional deficits and the factors that contribute to poor function, such as age, severity of illness, and therapy-related complications. Pinto also explores the importance of assessing health-related quality of life and the potential interventions that can improve survivorship trajectories. Ultimately, the goal is to improve the long-term outcomes for PICU survivors.
