After the ICU: Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Supporting Critical Illness Survivors 1st Edition
After the ICU: Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Supporting Critical Illness Survivors, 1st Edition by Meghan Lane-Fall, David S. Shapiro, and Lewis Kaplan is an essential, practice-driven guide for clinicians, rehabilitation teams, caregivers, and health systems committed to improving recovery after critical illness.
Begin with a clear portrait of the problem: surviving the ICU is only the first step. This book captures attention by showing how physical, cognitive, and emotional sequelae shape long-term outcomes for patients across North America, Europe, and beyond. It then builds interest through concise, evidence-informed chapters that unite perspectives from critical care, nursing, physiatry, psychology, social work, and primary care.
Read on to discover actionable strategies: multidisciplinary pathways for early mobility, delirium prevention, post-ICU clinics, family-centered communication, and transition planning that reduce readmissions and improve quality of life. Rich case examples and practical frameworks translate research into bedside practice, making complex concepts accessible for busy teams and policy-makers designing regional post-ICU services.
Imagine the difference: better functional recovery, clearer care plans, and supported caregivers lead to tangible improvements for survivors and their communities. Whether you are a physician, nurse, therapist, researcher, or family member, this volume equips you with tools to make recovery measurable and sustainable.
