Why is the mortality rate for COVID ICU patients in the Awake and Walking ICU less than half of the other COVID ICUs in the same hospital system in the same community? How have sedation and mobility practices impacted rates of central lines, vasopressor use, paralysis, tracheostomies, and LTACH admissions? How has this ICU continued to keep COVID patients awake and mobile during this pandemic? Dr. Joel Pittman shares with us valuable updates from the Awake and Walking ICU.
