Of the 12.8 million documented COVID-19 cases, approximately 14% of individuals are associated with severe lung injury requiring oxygen and mechanical ventilation; many of these patients require a tracheostomy. With high-quality, interdisciplinary care, patients are surviving the critical illness but encounter a new set of challenges as they transition back to the community. This webinar will familiarize participants with the under-appreciated entity of Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS). It will focus on strategies to prepare patients for a successful discharge. We bring together perspectives from an array of disciplines, explaining rehabilitation interventions that address physical, cognitive and swallow impairments. These strategies collectively can both structure the patient journey to health and reduce the risk of readmission.
Please join us for this state of the art webinar from the Global Tracheostomy Collaborative.
Objectives:
- Define post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) in the COVID-19 era
- Optimize recovery of patients recovering from COVID-19 and reduce disability
- Facilitate early and safe discharge strategies that ensure continuity of care
- Describe how interdisciplinary plans can reduce readmissions and promote ongoing recovery
