T. A., Eccleston, S. D., Binder, H. M., & McCarthy, M. S. Publisher or Source: Journal of Patient Experience Type of Media: Medical Journal Media Originally for: 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.

Education was protective from PICS and frailty predictive of the development of PICS. Future studies are needed to understand better the heterogeneous subtypes of PICS and to identify modifiable risk factors.

Similar to many centres, ‏our intensive care unit (ICU) had no follow-up ‏service available to support patients through this ‏difficult recovery period (Griffiths et al. 2006). ‏To understand how best to create a service ‏that was safe, effective and person-centred, ‏two members of our multidisciplinary team ‏(MDT) undertook research programmes to ‏help identify the problems that patients faced ‏after ICU and to help understand the context ‏for change (Quasim et al. 2015; McPeake et ‏al. 2016). From this work, four main challenges were ‏identified: There is minimal evidence of how and ‏when rehabilitation services should ‏be delivered (Mehlhorn et al. 2010), ‏despite an abundance of literature ‏describing the issues for ICU survivors ‏and their families. The hardships facing ICU patients ‏are often not apparent to hospital ‏management. Readmissions to hospital, ‏increased general practitioner (family ‏physician) visitations and the increased ‏reliance on welfare benefits are distributed ‏amongst a variety of budgets, ‏which do not necessarily appear related ‏to an ICU admission. Finding staff with the time and ability ‏to do something new that is different ‏from their traditional ICU role can be ‏problematic. Finding physical space with a suitable ‏area to hold a rehabilitation programme ‏can be difficult.

Post-traumatic stress symptoms consistent with a moderate to major risk of PTSD were found in 94 (33.1%) family members. Higher rates were noted among family members who felt information was incomplete in the ICU (48.4%), who shared in decision making (47.8%), whose relative died in the ICU (50%), whose relative died after end-of-life decisions (60%), and who shared in end-of-life decisions (81.8%). Severe post-traumatic stress reaction was associated with increased rates of anxiety and depression and decreased quality of life. Conclusion: Post-traumatic stress reaction consistent with a high risk of PTSD is common in family members of ICU patients and is the rule among those who share in end-of-life decisions.

Wires, tubes, beeping monitors, unfamiliar noises lurking in the background, and the constant fear of whether you will make it through the illness. For critically ill patients who survive, the near-death experience can leave a lasting impact on their health. The road to recovery, then, stretches way beyond getting off the ventilator and coming back home. Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) is characterized by physical, cognitive and psychological symptoms that appear after a patient leaves the ICU.
