T2  - After the ICU: Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Supporting Critical Illness Survivors
AB  - The  seventy  years  since  critical  care  became  a  specialty  have  been  marked  by  vast  technological  advances  shaping  how  we  care  for  patients  with  critical  illness  or  injury.  New  discoveries  have  informed  our  understanding  of  illness  and  have  led  to  novel  therapies  for  conditions  ranging  from  infection  to  life-threatening  hemorrhagic  shock.  Accordingly,  an  increasing  number  of  patients  survive  their  critical  illness  and  define  a  unique  group  of  patients  known  as  “ICU  survivors.”  Their  struggles  during  recovery—as  well  as  those  of  their  loved  ones—inspired  us  to  craft  this  book  as  a  guide  and  a  touchstone.  Since  patient-and-family  centered  care  is  at  the  heart  of  team-based  critical  care,  it  is  important  to  recognize  the  key  role  that  loved  ones  play  during  convalescence,  and  the  difficulties  that  they  encounter.  Our  textbook  targets  patients,  family  members,  but  also  primary  care  clinicians  as  these  three  often  navigate  recovery  well  outside  of  the  ICU,  and  clinicians  whose  practice  is  principally  confined  to  the  hospital.  We  expect  that  this  book  will  also  be  of  interest  to  hospital-based  providers,  including  hospitalists  and  ICU  providers,  who  care  for  patients  in  the  early  phases  of  care  but  may  be  ill-equipped  to  provide  anticipatory  guidance  about  the  journey  to  recovery.
