Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) is gaining increased attention by healthcare professionals and the general public. PICS describes a triad of problems that survivors of critical illness may experience, resulting in long-term activity limitations, participation restrictions, and reduced quality of life. This webinar will provide an overview of PICS, a description of the syndrome, information on incidence and prevalence, and the importance of interprofessional management in the post-acute care setting. A review of examination and treatment strategies for the physical problems associated with PICS will be presented. Screening tools for cognitive and mental health problems will also be reviewed.
