Survivorship after COVID-19 ICU stay

Megan M Hosey, Dale M Needham, Megan M Hosey, Dale M Needham

Abstract

Prior studies of patient survivorship after an intensive care unit (ICU) stay suggest that many critically ill patients with COVID-19 will face long-lasting physical, cognitive and/or mental health impairments. This anticipated survivorship experience highlights the importance of collaboration between the fields of critical care and rehabilitation to optimize post-COVID-19 recovery.
