This practical book offers in-depth explorations of the
pathophysiology of post-intensive care syndrome (PICS), risk factors
for its development, strategies for prevention, approaches to
diagnosis and management, and general principles of ICU survivorship
and aftercare, accompanied by case studies and personal perspectives
from survivors of critical illness and their loved ones. An
international, interprofessional group of experts covers key topics,
including delirium, ICU-acquired weakness, and other hazards of
hospitalization; the ABCDEF bundle, ICU diaries, and family-centred
care; ICU follow-up clinics and peer support programs; and
comprehensive rehabilitation strategies and therapeutic interventions
both in and after the hospital. Special populations, including older
adults, children, those with long-COVID syndrome, and survivors of
neurological injury and cardiac arrest are also discussed. The book is
essential reading for physicians, nurses, and allied health
professionals caring for this patient population and serves as a
detailed reference to help patients with PICS better understand the
condition.
