Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to show the patient discomfort during their stay in intensive care is directly linked to the occurrence of a post ICU syndrome at 3 months. The main questions it aims to answer are : - Evaluate the value of the IPREA score on quality of life impairment a 3 months ; - Identify the 3 areas of discomfort most associated with progression to a post ICU syndrome at 3 months ; - Define a threshold value for the IPREA score ; - Correlate clinical assessment and psychological follow-up with the to the prediction of a post ICU syndrome ; - Establish a correlation between IPREA score and time to first rise - Establish a correlation between identified factors of post ICU syndrome and IPREA score
COVID-19 infection produces thousands of hospital admissions in a very short period of time, including critical care patients. It is expected that those who survive a severe spectrum of the disease, will present some degree of health decline in the medium and long term, becoming chronic patients. Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) was described by the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) as a new altered or worsening of physical, cognitive, or mental condition due to critical illness and persisting after hospitalization, including pain. Also, clinical features of infection include different types of pain, and if this pain persists, it can turn into a chronic condition. Chronic pain is a currently recognized disease, but under-treated in many cases, generating a significant deterioration in the quality of life of this patient. It is vitally important to generate early care circuits to detect and treat those expected complications, such as chronic pain in these patients. The objective of this study is to estimate the level of persistent pain and its impact on health-related quality of life after admission to an intensive care unit in patients who suffered this infection.
This is a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of a COVID-19 virtual Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) clinic (CoV-PICS). The findings from this study are the first steps in determining the feasibility and potential impact of a telehealth PICS clinic that is able to address the needs of patients with COVID-19 disease and potentially other patients that are unable to attend a brick and mortar clinic and require virtual care.
COVID-19 (coronavirus 2019) disease has led to a large number of hospital admissions, many of which require admission to intensive care (ICU). Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) is defined as deterioration or worsening of previous deterioration in the mental, physical or cognitive status that appears as a consequence of a critical illness and which persists after acute hospital care. Also, there is evidence that patients who survive a critical illness have a high prevalence of moderate to extreme chronic pain. Patients with COVID-19 disease are an especially susceptible population to develop PICS due to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) survivors have significant long-term deterioration in mental, cognitive, and functional health. This study hypothesis is that a specific care program based on early therapeutic education and psychological intervention improves the quality of life of patients at risk of developing PICS and chronic pain after COVID-19 disease.
Psychological morbidity in both patients and family members related to the intensive care unit (ICU) experience is an often overlooked, and potentially persistent, healthcare problem recognized by the Society of Critical Care Medicine as Post-intensive Care Syndrome (PICS). ICU diaries are an intervention increasingly under study with potential to mitigate ICU-related psychological morbidity, include ICU-related PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), depression and anxiety.
