The mandate to optimize critical illness recovery with tailored survivorship programs seems clear. Additional research and clinical experience are needed to further delineate the needs of ICU survivors and develop effective interventions to mitigate the effects of PICS, with the goal of maximizing recovery after critical illness.

It has now been known that these survivors can develop myriad mental and/or physical disabilities after treatment in the intensive care unit. In fact, up to 50% of patients who stay in the ICU for at least on week are susceptible to PICS. Research is now shedding light as to the severity and the need for education and post-care for patients and families as they deal with the aftermath of this.

The highly rare, post-viral condition called Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) can develop about a month after SARS-CoV-2 infection and causes multiple organs to become painfully inflamed. The two girls, aged 9 and 10, and a 16-year-old boy were receiving treatment at the Kaplan Medical Center in the central city of Rehovot, Channel 13 reported on Thursday.

Publisher or Source: BMJ 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 Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the) Primary Focus of Media: Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) COVID-19 Related: Yes Description: The admission of a critically ill patient to an intensive care unit (ICU) is a distressing event for the patient, their family and friends, which has been amplified by the impact of the covid-19 pandemic. Many hospitals now prohibit visits by all relatives and friends for all patients, sometimes even when a patient is dying. The consequent inability to see, touch, and talk to loved ones increases the burden of critical illness on families. The lack of face-to-face communication has also greatly changed the dynamic of interactions between healthcare providers and families. These changes affect how we communicate with families, and could have long lasting impacts for patients who survive an ICU admission, their families, and healthcare providers in ICUs.

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) manifests in the form of a fever, mainly, but also red eyes, red or cracked lips, and red spots on the body. The symptoms resemble those of Kawasaki disease, said Dr. Marie-Paule Morin, a pediatric rheumatologist at Montreal’s Ste-Justine Hospital, and they appear about three to four weeks after a COVID-19 diagnosis.

Research has documented deficits faced by survivors of intensive care, specifically neuro-cognitive dysfunction, depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. These long-lasting disabilities present an important and prevalent public health concern. Although clinicians are increasingly aware of the challenges that face ICU survivors, they do not frequently discuss this with patients or families. As a result, patients often face a bewildering number of care transitions—from hospitals to long-term care to nursing facilities—without a roadmap or community. Furthermore, there is little research that investigates which outcomes are important to ICU survivors and their families, or how to change care with these outcomes in mind.

Publisher or Source: British Medical Journal Type of Media: Medical Journal Media Originally for: General Public Country of Origin: United States Primary Focus of Media: Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) COVID-19 Related: No Description: Critical care services are atypical in the wide heterogeneity of their patients. This is in part a reflection of the way in which these services have evolved. The progress of intensive care in the UK has been described as ‘haphazard’, consisting of ‘largely unplanned and unevaluated’ developments that occurred in reaction to changes in surgical and medical practice. There has been debate about the configuration of critical care services, fuelled by a perception that there are not enough beds in some parts of the country and that existing beds are not in the right places. During the late 1990s, the NHS Executive established a National Expert Group to review adult critical care services in the UK and to produce a national Framework for future organisation and care delivery. As a result, in May 2000 a critical care modernisation plan was announced.

In the past week the Centers for Disease Control updated its public guidance on what’s sometimes known as “Long COVID,” with sufferers known as “long haulers.” On Sunday, the United Kingdom’s National Health Service announced that it was organizing a network of more than 40 specialist clinics to help sufferers and launching a task force whose mission is to produce a better understanding of just what Long COVID is.

Author(s): Paula Caitano Fontela , Franciele Aline Norberto Branquinho Abdala , Soraia Genebra Ibrahim Forgiarini , Luiz Alberto Forgiarini Jr Publisher or Source: Revista Brasileira de terapia intensiva Type of Media: Medical Journal Media Originally for: Critical Care Physicians,Nurses and/or Other Critical Care Medical Professionals Country of Origin: Brazil Primary Focus of Media: Pre-Use of PICS Designation COVID-19 Related: No Description: Objective: To assess the long-term, health-related quality of life of intensive care unit survivors by systematic review. Methods: The search for, and selection and analysis of, observational studies that assessed the health-related quality of life of intensive care unit survivors in the electronic databases LILACS and MEDLINE® (accessed through PubMed) was performed using the indexed MESH terms "quality of life [MeSH Terms]" AND "critically illness [MeSH Terms]". Studies on adult patients without specific prior diseases published in English in the last 5 years were included in this systematic review. The citations were independently selected by three reviewers. Data were standardly and independently retrieved by two reviewers, and the quality of the studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Results: In total, 19 observational cohort and 2 case-control studies of 57,712 critically ill patients were included. The follow-up time of the studies ranged from 6 months to 6 years, and most studies had a 6-month or 1-year follow up. The health-related quality of life was assessed using two generic tools, the EuroQol and the Short Form Health Survey. The overall quality of the studies was low. Conclusions: Long-term, health-related quality of life is compromised among intensive care unit survivors compared with the corresponding general population. However, it is not significantly affected by the occurrence of sepsis, delirium, and acute kidney injury during intensive care unit admission when compared with that of critically ill patient control groups. High-quality studies are necessary to quantify the health-related quality of life among intensive care unit survivors.
