The demand for intensive care is projected to rise because of an aging population with complex comorbidities and the expanded use of advanced healthcare treatments, and as a result, the number of ICU survivors will rise . Survivors of critical illness require early identification of symptoms and early interventions to decrease symptom burden and enhance their quality of life. Redesign of post-ICU care management and post acute care delivery systems is needed to engage ICU survivors in self-care, monitor for early signs of deteriorating health, intervene early, and reduce costs. As new value-based payment models for medical services increasingly take hold, financial incentives will also need to align with rehabilitation-oriented services in this population with greater focus on post-ICU care.

Description Uterine leiomyomas (also known as uterine myomas or fibroids) are benign tumours that develop within the uterine wall. They can be single or multiple. They are one of the most common gynaecological problems among women in the UK. They are often asymptomatic but they can cause symptoms such as menorrhagia, intermenstrual bleeding, a feeling of pelvic pressure, pain, and urinary incontinence. They may also be associated with reproductive problems such as subfertility and miscarriage. Treatment depends on whether the leiomyomas cause symptoms and on the woman’s desire for future childbearing. Asymptomatic leiomyomas need no treatment. Depending on their size, number and location, symptomatic leiomyomas can be managed by hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus) or myomectomy (surgical removal of the leiomyomas). Smaller submucous leiomyomas can be removed by hysteroscopic resection. Uterine artery embolisation may also be used. Other treatments include endometrial ablation, using energy such as microwave or heat, which may be suitable for some leiomyomas. Hormone-based treatments may be used on a short-term basis to relieve symptoms, or to shrink the leiomyomas before surgery or other interventional treatment.

She visited two patients currently receiving care in QRI following episodes of severe Covid-19. In each case the prolonged illness and severity of symptoms has led to the patients experiencing reduced lung capacity and muscle atrophy resulting in decreased endurance.

Taylor A. Blair, BA, RN, Sarah D. Eccleston, MSN, RN, ACCNS-AG, WCC, Hannah M. Binder, BSN, RN, and Mary S. McCarthy, PhD, RN, FAAN Publisher or Source: Journal of Patient Experience Type of Media: Medical Journal Media Originally for: Critical Care Physicians, General Medical Professionals, Nurses and/or Other Critical Care Medical Professionals Country of Origin: United States Primary Focus of Media: Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) COVID-19 Related: No Description: The critical care literature in the US has recently brought attention to the impact an ICU experience can have long after the patient survives critical illness, particularly if delirium was present. Current recommendations to mitigate post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) are embedded in patient and family-centered care and aim to promote family presence in the ICU, provide support for decision-making, and enhance communication with the health-care team. Evidence-based interventions are few in number but include use of an ICU diary to minimize the psychological and emotional sequelae affecting patients and family members in the months following the ICU stay. In this paper we describe our efforts to implement an ICU diary and solicit feedback on its role in fostering teamwork and communication between patients, family members, and ICU staff. Next steps will involve a PICS follow-up clinic where trained staff will coordinate specialty referrals and perform long-term monitoring of mental health and other quality of life outcomes.
