SCCM Resource Library-Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC): What Can Be Done in and after the ICU to Lower the Risk of "

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the long-term effects of COVID-19, known as long COVID, and the implications for patients in the ICU and during the recovery period. Symptoms of long COVID can vary and impact different organ systems, with fatigue, dyspnea, and mental health issues being common. Managing pain, optimizing sedation, and promoting early mobilization are key strategies for improving outcomes. The video also highlights the risks of opiate and sedative withdrawal in COVID-19 patients and suggests using non-steroidal agents and enteral administration to mitigate these risks. Delirium prevention and treatment strategies, including medication-related factors, are discussed. Involving patients and their families in care, addressing medication risks post-discharge, and providing post-ICU follow-up are crucial. Telehealth and post-COVID clinics are valuable resources for continued care. Personalized rehabilitation plans and addressing persistent symptoms like dyspnea are important considerations. The video concludes with the need for aggressive bowel regimens and management of post-ICU syndrome. Overall, a comprehensive and individualized approach is emphasized for the care and management of COVID-19 patients in the ICU and during recovery. Further research is needed to better understand the long-term effects of COVID-19 and develop effective prevention and management strategies.
