Presented live October 13th, 2021 2 pm – 3 pm Eastern

Overview

As healthcare workers we have been challenged over the past 18 months by a pandemic that continues to surge. As ICU clinicians, we are hopeful when patients with critical illness survive, and grateful for the interdisciplinary team’s efforts in coordinating the necessary care. However, we also have to consider the continuum of care and how our interventions may have a short term and long term impact on our patients’ overall health and abilities after they leave the hospital. We will explore the healthcare disparities that continue overall, how they impact care, and solutions for dealing with the long term effects of PICS. Following hospital discharge for some patient groups, awareness and access to resources may be limited. This presentation will take some of those factors into consideration and identify resources and strategies available to raise awareness and improve access to help improve outcomes for patients with COVID-19 who have survived critical illness, but may have a long road to full recovery.

Objectives – After this session, participants will be able to:

• Understand the significant challenges presented in COVID-19 patients in the critical care environment and following hospitalization
• Describe Post Intensive Care Syndrome: Review of pertinent literature
• Understand how Early Mobility can influence PICS
