SCCM Resource Library-Post-Intensive Care Syndrome

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) and its effects on patients who have been discharged from the ICU. PICS refers to the new or worsening impairments in physical, cognitive, and mental health that arise after critical illness and persist beyond acute care hospitalization. Cognitive functioning is a significant domain affected by critical illness, with studies showing that many ICU survivors experience cognitive impairments similar to mild cognitive impairment or even moderate Alzheimer's disease. Mental health problems such as depression, PTSD, and anxiety are also common in ICU survivors. Physical debility and functional impairment often accompany these cognitive and mental health challenges. The video highlights the importance of education and support for ICU survivors, and suggests implementing cognitive rehabilitation programs and support groups to help them navigate the challenges they face. The stages of change theory and the concept of learned helplessness are also discussed as important factors to consider when providing support to ICU survivors. Ultimately, the goal is to help these patients embrace a new normal and find post-traumatic growth after their ICU experience.
