Description:
This information booklet is largely aimed at assisting the patient in
recovery following a period of critical illness. However, from
experience, it is evident that the relatives need to read this first.
During the first few days after leaving the ICU, the patient may be
unable to concentrate, understand and apply the information to
themselves. By reading this booklet the relatives will hopefully gain
an understanding of what the patient is going through and this helps
them to be actively involved in the patient's recovery and
rehabilitation.
