A year later, she still suffers lingering symptoms. She still gets winded on the stairs in her two-story house. “I get exhausted climbing the steps,” said Echols, a traveling nurse. “I’ll climb the steps and then sit down in my room for a little bit before I do what I came upstairs to do.” Greg Jenkins’s eyes water when he slices an onion. But he can’t smell it. Eight months after being diagnosed with Covid-19, Jenkins still has diminished taste and smell. He, too, has a hard time climbing the stairs. A singer, he’s had to relearn songs, inserting more breaths into his phrasing. “I get short of breath really easy. I get fatigued really easy. My muscles just ache horribly,” said Jenkins, 58. “My sense of smell is shot. Once in a while I smell something, but I can’t tell what it is. “I’m a long hauler.” Potentially millions of Americans are long haulers like Echols and Jenkins. Six or more months after they became sick with Covid-19, they suffer the effects of “long covid,” with lingering symptoms such as shortness of breath, racing or irregular heart beats, fatigue, loss of sense of smell, and one of the most common and confounding symptoms, short-term memory lost labeled “brain fog.” 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.

Iwashyna, MD, PhD Publisher or Source: Society of Critical Care Medicine Type of Media: One-Pager Media Originally for: Former ICU Patients or Their Caregivers, General Public Country of Origin: United States Primary Focus of Media: Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) COVID-19 Related: No Description: Millions of patients are admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) each year, one third of whom need a machine to help them breathe (ventilator). These critically ill patients may develop health problems related to their illness, injury, ventilator or other treatments. Such problems cannot be totally prevented and can continue after the patient leaves the hospital. Delirium, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and sepsis increase the chances of these problems occurring. They, too, may not always be prevented. If you are an ICU patient or family member, this guide helps you understand the health problems known as post-intensive care syndrome, or PICS, so you know what to look for when you return home. It also includes tips on how to minimize PICS. Many people develop PICS, and help is available. You will have the best chance of recovery if you explain your health problems to your primary care doctor, who can refer you to the specialists you need.
