In this randomized clinical trial,Walsh and colleagues developed a rehabilitation strategy that used a dedicated therapist to increase the frequency and intensity of mobilization and exercise therapy, dietetic review and advice, and referral for other therapies using predefined triggers, together with providing greater illness-specific information.

Patients who require care in the intensive care unit (ICU) have the most serious illnesses, often requiring multiple forms of life support. While the science of medicine has significantly advanced in the past 30 years, these advances sometimes create many questions, such as: • Will my loved one be able to live independently after this? • What kind of rehabilitation will my loved one need? • What will my loved one’s quality of life be after this illness? More than ever, medical teams rely on families to help them make important decisions about their loved ones’ care, and their futures. The purpose of this series is built on the ideas that knowledge is power and that every patient needs an advocate. Here, we share some of the most important advances in ICU medicine so patients and their families can ask educated questions.

Evidence from both periods suggests that up to 27% of ICU survivors suffer from PTSD. There is also increasing evidence that use of benzodiazepines and duration of sedation, along with fear, stress and delirium in the ICU are likely risk factors for subsequent PTSD.

Khan Publisher or Source: Metro Type of Media: Newspaper Article Media Originally for: General Public 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 number of people suffering ‘debilitating’ long-term symptoms from ‘long Covid’ is expected to rise, academics have said – warning that the condition could in fact be as many as four different syndromes. Researchers from the National Institute for Health Research conducted a review examining reports for those with ongoing coronavirus symptoms who were still unable to work, study or care for dependents several months after their initial coronavirus infection. The syndromes were categorised broadly as: post intensive care syndrome, post viral fatigue syndrome, permanent organ damage and long term Covid syndrome. But researchers say it is also possible to suffer from more than one of the problems simultaneously.

Nearly all patients affected with ICU-acquired weakness have symptoms that persist years later.1,2 Issues with cognitive function occur in 30% to 80% of ICU survivors and include memory, planning, problem-solving, visual-spatial, and processing problems.1,3 Cognitive consequences may improve during the months after discharge. However, 25% of patients with adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have long-term persistent cognitive impairment 6 years after discharge.

Never before in the history of health administration in our country has the government been so visible in the lives of the people. And while the pandemic continues to ravage many communities around the world, we can, at least, sit back a bit and survey where we have come from and look at some of the consequences of what we have been forced to do. Before the onset of the novel coronavirus infections in Nigeria, the entire nation had less than 350 intensive care unit (ICU) beds and ventilators among all the teaching hospitals, federal medical centres and private medical facilities around the country. By contrast, we saw how the UK built NHS Nightingale, a 4,000-bed ICU hospital facility dedicated to the treatment of Covid-19 patients in just nine days. So that in one hospital in England, not in that entire country, there were ten times more ICU beds than in the whole of Nigeria, and for a population less than one-third as large.

Patients surviving respiratory distress could develop post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) that includes ICU-acquired weakness (ICUAW). Nearly 66% of COVID-19 patients have clinically important muscle weakness following discharge [1]. Therefore, communication between the critical care and rehabilitation physician is important to evaluate the physical function of COVID-19 survivors to start rehabilitation timely.
