Key Points

  • To assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a combined cognitive and physical rehabilitation program for ICU survivors.
  • Implemented a multicomponent rehabilitation program targeting cognitive, physical, and functional training for ICU survivors.
  • Evaluated cognitive performance and functional outcomes over a 3-month period.
  • Suggested future larger-scale studies for confirmation of results.
  • Significant improvement in cognitive performance noted after 3 months of rehabilitation.
  • Positive functional outcomes were achieved, indicating enhanced recovery processes.
  • Feasibility of the multicomponent program was successfully demonstrated.

Abstract

A multicomponent rehabilitation program for intensive care unit survivors combining cognitive, physical, and functional training appears feasible and possibly effective in improving cognitive performance and functional outcomes in just 3 months. Future investigations with a larger sample size should be conducted to build on this pilot feasibility program and to confirm these results, as well as to elucidate the elements of rehabilitation contributing most to improved outcomes.
