Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) was described by the Society of Critical Care Medicine in 2012 to increase awareness of the problems that survivors of critical illness face following hospital discharge. To identify the physical, cognitive, and mental health problems associated with PICS, it is important to employ a systematic approach to examination and use evidence-based outcome measures and screening tools. Early identification and assessment of the problems associated with PICS will enhance the development of comprehensive plans of care, facilitate referrals to an interprofessional team, and optimize the tracking of patient outcomes. This course will provide clinicians with an examination strategy that is based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) model and uses standardized, evidence-based outcome measures. Those providing posthospitalization services, such as nursing, rehabilitation, social work, nutrition, and primary care will learn strategies for examination of PICS.

Video Runtime: 60 Minutes; Learning Assessment Time: 48 Minutes
Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) was described by the Society of Critical Care Medicine in 2012 to increase awareness of the problems that survivors of critical illness face following hospital discharge. People with PICS respond differently to rehabilitation interventions than other people with similar problems and activity limitations. However, interventions targeted to improve their functioning can be successful. This course will briefly review PICS, describe evidence-based rehabilitation strategies for the problems associated with PICS, and provide strategies for engaging in an interprofessional team approach to manage a patient with PICS. Those providing posthospitalization services, such as nursing, rehabilitation, social work, nutrition, and primary care, will learn strategies for fostering recovery from PICS.

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.
