Description

Over 5 million individuals are treated in the ICU annually in North America.  While 20% of these individuals will die prior to discharge, those who survive are rarely free of difficulties. Many ICU survivors return home only to find that their lives are now in dramatic contrast with their pre-treatment existences.

Evidence from dozens of investigations suggests that up to half of ICU survivors experience complications, including cognitive impairment, depression, PTSD, and physical debility.  These problems collectively form a condition known as Post-Intensive Care Syndrome or PICS and they cause significant difficulties in areas such as daily functioning, functioning, and overall quality of life.

While PICS impacts literally millions of individuals each year, few professionals are aware of it, and even fewer are familiar with effective treatments for patients who suffer with this common, yet disabling, condition. Using current research and proven clinical examples, this recording will teach clinicians across the disciplines to identify PICS and to utilize evidence-based strategies in its treatment.

In particular, clinicians will learn to individually tailor common clinical approaches to the needs of PICS patients and their families, both during and after hospitalization.
