This post describes a program created prior to COVID that has been helping ICU patients and their families to cope.
The symptoms of COVID-19 are often serious and can produce lasting physical and psychological impact. For those patients hospitalized, more than half of them require assistance with oxygen due to difficulties breathing, and those who continue to decline require admission to an intensive care unit (ICU).
Critical care hospitalizations are known to produce heightened emotional distress (depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress) in both patients and families (described as post-intensive care syndrome); and may persist long after ICU discharge.
