DIRECTORY OF POST ICU CLINICS
Most ICU Patients Who Survive Their ICU Stays Experiences PICS
According to the Society of Critical Care Medicine, "ICUs have historically focused on survival as the single most important outcome of critical illness. Recent research has shown that most patients who survive their ICU stay develop a combination of cognitive impairment; emotional problems, including depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder; physical weakness; and significant social and financial hardships."
In Recent Years, Many Post ICU Clinics Have Opened
There are now specialized clinics to provide and coordinate care for ICU survivors and their families. "These clinics are composed of an interdisciplinary team of professionals, including critical care and mental health physicians, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, and social workers. Their ultimate goal is to improve patients’ quality of life, ease caregiver burden on families, and work to restore patients to their prior level of functioning."
