Description

Sedation and immobility impact more than patient outcomes in the ICU.
Family members also suffer the isolation, burden, trauma, and loss from sedation and immobility in and after the ICU.
Families are also at risk of developing post-ICU syndrome themselves.
Nonetheless, they are left unprepared to care for their loved ones who are suffering the damage of sedation, delirium, and ICU-acquired weakness while struggling through their own personal trauma.
Stefan Becker, a professional psychotherapist, shares intimate insight into the journey he and his wife have suffered in the ICU.

Kali Dayton, DNP, ACNP-BC, is an ICU nurse practitioner and ICU consultant. She hands the microphone to ICU survivors and bedside caregivers to reveal the realities of ICU experience and patients' journeys after discharge. The big picture of sedation and immobility is discussed and we explore how to improve short and long-term patient outcomes. We shift the vision from transferring out of the ICU to walking straight home after the ICU. www.DaytonICUconsulting.com Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/restoringlife/support
