What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary consultation system aimed at improving the quality of life for patients who have experienced post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) after a stay in the ICU. Participants will undergo psychological assessments and receive consultations four to five months post-discharge to address the physical and psychological sequelae associated with their ICU stay. The study will follow patients for nine months to measure the impact of these interventions on their recovery and overall well-being.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who have experienced at least one organ failure and have been hospitalized in the ICU for six days or more.

Not a fit: Patients who are at the end of life, do not speak French, or have significant psychiatric histories may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly enhance the quality of life for ICU survivors by providing targeted support for PICS.

How similar studies have performed: While many studies have identified the prevalence of PICS, few have tested structured post-resuscitation support systems, making this approach relatively novel.
