Appropriate worksfound were analysed further. The applied methodology was in line with the general principles of Evidence-Based Medicine. The following literary databases were used: CINAHL, Medline and gray literature: GoogleScholar.Results:A total of 91 trials were found. Eleven of these relevant to the follow-up analysis wereselected: all trials were carried out under real ICU conditions and the total of 192 patients were included inthe review. There is an agreement within all trials that sleep in patients requiring mechanical ventilation isdisturbed. Most reviewed trials have shown that mechanical ventilation is probably not the main factorcausing sleep disturbances, but an appropriate ventilation strategy can significantly help to improve itsquality by reducing the frequency of the patient-ventilator asynchrony.Conclusion: Based on the analysis, it appears that an appropriate ventilation mode setting can have abeneficial effect on the quality of sleep in ICU patients.Keywords: mechanical ventilation, quality of sleep, intensive care unit To view the PDF, Article, Photo, or Chart, Click Icon: To view the attached Video media file, Click Icon: PostICU, Inc's library staff reviewed this copyrighted material contained in the library and reasonably believes that its inclusion in our library complies with the "Fair Use Doctrine" because: (1) our library's is for nonprofit and educational purposes; (2) the nature of the copyrighted work is related to our mission; (3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole is fair and reasonable; and (4) the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work will if impacted, should be enhanced, by its presence in our library.

Given the prevalence and magnitude of physical impairments after critical illness, many survivors, including those recovering from COVID-19, could benefit from physical therapist services after hospital discharge. However, due to the relatively recent recognition and characterization of PICS, there may be limited awareness and understanding of PICS among physical therapists practicing in home health care and community-based settings. This lack of awareness may lead to inappropriate and/or inadequate rehabilitation service provision. While this perspective article provides information relevant to all physical therapists, it is aimed toward those providing rehabilitation services outside of the acute and postacute inpatient settings. This article reports the prevalence and clinical presentation of PICS and provides recommendations for physical examination and outcomes measures, plan of care, and intervention strategies. The importance of providing patient and family education, coordinating community resources including referring to other health care team members, and community-based rehabilitation service options is emphasized. Finally, this perspective article discusses current challenges for optimizing outcomes for people with PICS and suggests future directions for research and practice.

But now that the coronavirus has been under sharp focus for more than six months, physicians are noting that this binary belief is inaccurate.
