Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is a multidisciplinary field that examines how psychological factors, particularly stress, interact with the immune system and impact physical health. Research in PNI has shown that chronic or traumatic stress can disrupt both the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic nervous system. These disruptions contribute to serious health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases.
A key area of focus in PNI is the relationship between stress and coronary...

Pneumonia I: Introduction01:30

Pneumonia I: Introduction

211
Pneumonia is an acute respiratory infection that targets the lungs, specifically the alveoli. These tiny air sacs, essential for oxygen exchange, become engorged with pus and fluid, severely hindering breathing, decreasing oxygen absorption, and causing significant pain and discomfort during respiration.
Risk Factors
Various factors influence the likelihood of developing pneumonia. Age plays a crucial role, with infants, children under two, and individuals over 65 at increased risk due to their...

Area of Science:

  • Critical care medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Health outcomes research

Background:

  • Intensive care unit (ICU) survivors frequently experience persistent psychological impairments.
  • These issues can manifest months to years post-discharge, irrespective of illness severity or physical recovery.
  • Early acute stress symptoms are identified risk factors for psychological problems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the long-term psychological burden on ICU survivors.
  • To emphasize the inconsistency in assessing and treating psychological symptoms in this population.
  • To advocate for early, serial screening and outpatient mental health follow-up.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on psychological outcomes in ICU survivors.
  • Analysis of identified risk factors, including acute stress symptoms.
  • Discussion of current assessment and treatment gaps.

Main Results:

  • Psychological impairments are a common and enduring consequence of critical illness.
  • Current practices for psychological assessment and treatment in ICU patients and survivors are inconsistent.
  • Many patients do not receive adequate psychological evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment.

Conclusions:

  • Early and serial screening for psychological impairments is crucial for ICU patients.
  • Connecting survivors with outpatient mental health services is essential for mitigating long-term distress.
  • Proactive mental health support can improve recovery trajectories for ICU survivors.
