SCCM Resource Library-Lessons From Trauma-Informed Care for Critical Care Survivors

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Megan Hosey, a clinical psychologist and assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, talks about trauma-informed care and its applications in critical care. Trauma-informed care is a framework that recognizes the prevalence and impact of trauma and aims to create health systems that respond with best practices to patients who have experienced trauma. Dr. Hosey discusses the key principles of trauma-informed care, including safety, transparency, peer support, collaboration, and cultural sensitivity. She also highlights the importance of understanding trauma epidemiology and its effects on mental and physical health. ICU stays can be potentially traumatic events, and it's important to provide trauma-informed care during and after these experiences. Dr. Hosey suggests using standing ICU guidelines, such as pain, agitation, delirium, immobility, and sleep guidelines, as a way to mitigate trauma in the ICU. She also emphasizes the importance of family engagement and empowerment and offers strategies for providing trauma-informed care to ICU survivors.

Asset Caption

Recovery after critical illness remains challenging since the COVID-19 pandemic, given the traditional silos of healthcare system delivery. Characteristics of successful post-ICU clinic structures and referrals will be reviewed, and areas of ongoing implementation innovation will be discussed. Length of follow-up and support vary, and coordination of care among multiple specialties is often needed. Since the pandemic began, a large burden of survivors of critical care and long COVID syndrome has generated a heterogenous group needing follow-up. Speakers will review the current state of our understanding of post-intensive care syndrome and psychological recovery during the pandemic.
