Brief description of media:

More information continues to emerge about the medical problems COVID-19
infections can cause as our experience with it grows.
One feature that has been summarized more lately is the delirium that can
develop in the ICU patients, or even as a first symptom. Several factors
collectively generate the delirium.

• Examine the concept of “Family” presence in the ICU.
• Identify strategies to create “Family” engagement.

Brief description of media:

Objectives:

• Discuss the impact of delirium on patient outcomes
• Review tools to measure delirium
• Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU), Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC)
• Identify strategies to build an ICU attentive to delirium

Brief description of media:

The book explains to the family of the patients in the ICU what to expect and provides information to them so that they can better informed decision.

Brief description of media:

Post–intensive care syndrome–family (PICS-F) refers to acute and chronic psychological effects of critical care on family members of patients in intensive care units (ICUs). Evidence suggests that increased distress during the ICU stay increases risk of PICS-F. Sensation Awareness Focused Training (SAF-T) is a new, promising ˉ stress management intervention, but the feasibility of such training during the ICU stay for family caregivers who are acting as the surrogate decision-maker for patients who are undergoing mechanical ventilation is unknown.

Brief description of media:

Providing insight into key clinical practices that can ameliorate Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS), we will describe the role of interprofessional collaboration in implementation of a multicomponent intervention to reduce the burden of PICS following critical illness.

Brief description of media:

Attendance and attrition in ICU recovery clinic are
related to patient factors (living in rural area) and ICU factors. Data
suggest different recovery trajectories exist based on gender, severity
of illness, and self-reported outcomes.
