In some patients, the symptoms can last for a year or more, and they are notably more likely in people with a history of psychological distress before an ICU stay, the investigators say.

Click to Return to Search Page VIEW SELECTED LIBRARY MEDIA Name of Media: The Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) Impact of ICU stay on Functioning and Implications for rehabilitation care Author(s): Daniela Dettling-Ihnenfeldt, D.S Publisher or Source: University of Amsterdam 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 States Primary Focus of Media: Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) COVID-19 Related: No Description: Advancements in critical care medicine result in a growing population of survivors of critical illness. Many intensive care unit (ICU) patients have physical, mental and cognitive sequelae after discharge from the ICU, known as post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). These problems are associated with long-lasting restrictions in daily functioning and reduced health-related quality of life (QoL), and can also negatively affect family members (PICS-F). The nature of these restrictions require interdisciplinary rehabilitation care, but to date there is no structured pathway for the prevention and treatment of the symptoms of PICS. The aim of this thesis was to explore the course and prognosis of functioning in ICU survivors, and to investigate means for early identification of PICS. In the studies assembled in this thesis, we found that patients with prolonged ICU-stay, longer duration of mechanical ventilation (> 48 hours), and/or ICU-AW, have a higher risk of short- and long-term functional impairments, limitations in activities and restrictions in participation. A majority of ICU survivors do not receive adequate rehabilitation care after discharge from the hospital. This implies, that patients and their close relatives should be closely monitored after discharge from the ICU to initiate interdisciplinary rehabilitation treatment. In order to improve the quality of survivorship, we propose a structured, stepped care rehabilitation pathway, consisting of clinical assessments with validated screening instruments, interdisciplinary rehabilitation interventions, tailored to the patients’ abilities and needs, and adequate handover in the transition of care.

Healthline Type of Media: Magazine Article Media Originally for: General Public Country of Origin: United States Primary Focus of Media: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) COVID-19 Related: Yes Description: Patients with COVID-19 who developed acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) could have a greater risk of long-term health issues. Additionally, people requiring intensive care are at increased risk for mental health issues like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. Impaired lung function from SARS-CoV-2 infection can negatively affect other organs like the heart, kidneys, and brain, with significant health impacts that may last after getting over the infection.

Clark and Anke Ehlers Publisher or Source: The Cognitive Behavior Therapist Type of Media: Medical Journal Media Originally for: Critical Care Physicians, Nurses and/or Other Critical Care Medical Professionals Country of Origin: United States Primary Focus of Media: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) COVID-19 Related: Yes Description: Around a quarter of patients treated in intensive care units (ICUs) will develop symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Given the dramatic increase in ICU admissions during theCOVID-19 pandemic, clinicians are likely to see a rise in post-ICU PTSD cases in the coming months.Post-ICU PTSD can present various challenges to clinicians, and no clinical guidelines have beenpublished for delivering trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy with this population. In this article, we describe how to use cognitive therapy for PTSD (CT-PTSD), a first line treatment for PTSD recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. Using clinical case examples, we outline the key techniques involved in CT-PTSD, and describe their application to treating patients with PTSD following ICU.

Davidson, DNP, RN, MCCM, FAAN Publisher or Source: Nursology Type of Media: Medical Professional Education Media Originally for: Nurses and/or Other Critical Care Medical Professionals Country of Origin: United States Primary Focus of Media: Post Intensive Care Syndrome for Families (PICS-F) COVID-19 Related: No Description: This midrange theory is derived from Sr. Calista Roy’s adaptation model and Professor Weick’s business model of sensemaking. In his sensemaking model Weick describes that people define themselves through actions taken in crisis. Also, leaders shape the vision of an organization’s well-being through messaging. In facilitated sensemaking, the nurse helps the family to cue sort, and interpret the meaning of those cues in the environment. The nurse provides the family purpose by facilitating individualized engagement in care and praising them for their efforts. Even in the worst of outcomes they can look back and say they did everything possible to help the team. Simple activities provide focus and modulate the limbic system response to stress which may mediate the development of stress disorders.
