First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests a new approach to supporting people after a stay in the intensive care unit (ICU). Many ICU survivors face ongoing psychological and physical challenges, such as depression, anxiety, and disability. The intervention involves a case manager who coordinates a personalized rehabilitation plan with a multidisciplinary team, starting early during the hospital stay. The study aims to see if this approach is feasible and useful for patients and their families.
