Intensive care units (ICUs) provide patients with advanced, life-saving treatments during critical illness or following an injury. These environments are crucial for recovery. However, for most patients, recovery doesn’t end when they leave the ICU. Many survivors experience post-intensive care syndrome (PICS), a condition that can impact their long-term physical, psychological and cognitive well-being. PICS is often labeled by symptoms that go beyond what would be expected for a patient based on their original illness or injury. As health care professionals and families become increasingly aware of PICS, it has become a strong focus in patient recovery journeys.
