Updates on Post-Intensive Care Syndrome After Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: Epidemiology, Core Outcomes, Interventions, and Long-Term Follow-Up

Stephanie L Hiser et al. Clin Chest Med. 2024 Dec.

Abstract

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) survivors often experience post-intensive care syndrome (PICS), is defined as new or worsened impairments in physical, cognitive and/or mental health status persisting beyond hospital discharge. These impairments negatively impact survivors' quality of life and their return to work or usual activities. Moreover, family members are also impacted as recognized by the term, PICS-Family (PICS-F). PICS poses an increased burden on the health care system and has a negative societal impact. There are ongoing efforts to understand risk factors for PICS-related impairments; design and evaluate interventions for specific impairments (including the use of an ARDS survivorship core outcome set); and refine and evaluate ICU recovery clinics to support and treat survivors and their families.

Keywords: Critical illness; Intensive care; Long-term outcomes; Post-intensive care syndrome.
