Why the study?
Intensive care survivors frequently experience post-intensive care syndrome, which impacts quality of life, healthcare costs, and readmissions, presenting significant public health challenges.
This viewpoint summarizes current knowledge, gaps, and management approaches for post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) in ICU survivors.
Alerts clinicians to PICS in ICU survivors; leaves open standardized prevention and management strategies.
Intensive care survivors often experience post-intensive care sequelae, which are frequently gathered together under the term "post-intensive care syndrome" (PICS). The consequences of PICS on quality of life, health-related costs and hospital readmissions are real public health problems. In the present Viewpoint, we summarize current knowledge and gaps in our understanding of PICS and approaches to management.
