A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
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.
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 gone: While many studies have identified the prevalence of PICS, few have tested structured post-resuscitation support systems, making this approach relatively novel.
