1. Overview of PICS and the Associated Impairments, Activity Limitations, and Participation Restrictions
This chapter will provide an introduction to PICS and the scope of the syndrome. The chapter will address the physical, cognitive, and/or mental health problems associated with PICS. The long-term effects on the patient, the family, and health care utilization will be reviewed.
2. Interventions to Improve Physical Functioning in People With PICS
This chapter will focus on designing interventions for physical impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions. An evidence-based framework is applied to rehabilitation strategies to address the diverse problems associated with PICS, including the need for compensatory interventions and task-specific training, and the importance of titrating intensity for effective restorative interventions.
3. Interprofessional Communication and Collaboration to Optimize Outcomes for People With PICS
This chapter will address the value of early recognition and services for PICS, and concerns about the elevated risk for developing new, chronic medical conditions. It will also review strategic communication and collaboration with the interprofessional team to optimize outcomes for people with PICS. The value of community-based services and programs will be reviewed.
4. Importance of Family in the Management of PICS
Critical illness is often a family crisis accompanied by family members frequently experiencing financial toxicity and problems with mental and physical health. This chapter will describe strategies for patient and family education as an integral component in the process of recovering after critical illness.
