Abstract:
The number of patients who survive a stay in intensive care unit (ICU) is increasing. It is our ethical responsibility to consider their quality of life after discharge. A risk factor for post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) is the perceived suffering during the ICU stay. Preventing this syndrome is a public health concern because of its secondary costs for both the patient and the society. Advanced practice registered nurses, in an environment where efficiency is required, could help in PICS prevention and management. Perspectives include individualized care during and after intensive care as well as improved coordination with primary care.
