Abstract
Intensive care units (ICUs) are increasingly striving to provide cost-effective and value-based support. To meet this trend, digital solutions might offer appropriate opportunities for delivering remote, personalized follow-up services. However, it remains unclear whether digital solutions align with survivors' preferences to improve post-ICU quality of life. The aim was to explore the value-based experiences related to digital follow-up services among critical care survivors. A qualitative design, with focus group interviews from May through October 2023, was conducted with critical care survivors recruited from four European countries. A thematic approach was used to analyze the data. Twenty-two participants were included, of whom half were women (n = 11). Three main themes were categorized: (1) powerless and uncontrolled, a search for regaining life; (2) adequate digital information; and (3) the role of technology and appropriate functionalities according to users' wishes. Overall findings across the four European countries highlighted value-based preferences such as personalized online information delivery, the possibility of e-consults with healthcare professionals, and digital access to peer support.

Abstract
Nutritional support is crucial for critically ill patients. Recent clinical studies suggest that both overfeeding during the acute phase of critical illness and overly conservative or delayed nutritional therapy can pose significant risks. Given substantial individual variability among critically ill patients, it is challenging to prescribe universally applicable and objective feeding strategies; Instead, we pointed out which nutritional interventions were harmful. We also summarized the reasons for protective nutrition, and elaborated the advantages of protective nutrition from three perspectives: gastrointestinal protection, nutritional protection and metabolic protection. In particular, it is emphasized that overfeeding will lead to metabolic disorders, such as mitochondrial dysfunction, autophagy inhibition, ketogenic inhibition, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, etc. These detrimental processes can exacerbate one another, contributing to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and poorer clinical outcomes. We also propose protective nutrition strategies comparable to lung protective ventilation strategies, which may benefit patients. Vigilant monitoring during nutritional implementation is also paramount, enhancing awareness of adverse events for early diagnosis and intervention to mitigate their harm.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarize the clinical evidence on nutritional support for critically ill patients, the (patho)physiological mechanisms involved, and areas of future research. RECENT FINDINGS Large randomized controlled trials have shown that early nutrition induces dose-dependent harm in critically ill patients, regardless of the feeding route, and that early high-dose amino acids are harmful. Harm has been attributed to feeding-induced suppression of cellular repair pathways including autophagy and ketogenesis, to aggravation of hyperglycemia and insulin needs, and to increased urea cycle activity. Additionally, acute critical illness was shown to be a state of anabolic resistance. The absence of benefit of early enhanced nutritional support on short- and long-term outcomes was observed in all studied subgroups. SUMMARY While early high-dose nutrition should be avoided in all critically ill patients, the optimal initiation time of nutrition support for the individual patient, as well as ideal composition and dosing of nutrition over time remain unclear. Future studies should elucidate how fasting-induced repair pathways can be activated while avoiding prolonged starvation, and how hyperglycemia and high insulin need could be prevented. Potential strategies include intermittent fasting, ketogenic diets, ketone supplements, and alternative glucose-lowering agents, whether or not in combination with exercise.

Six-month outcomes after traumatic brain injury in the Augmented versus Routine Approach to Giving Energy multicentre, double-blind, randomised controlled Trial (TARGET). Aust Crit Care 2025; 38:101116. [PMID: 39389845 DOI: 10.1016/j.aucc.2024.09.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2024] [Revised: 09/03/2024] [Accepted: 09/04/2024] [Indexed: 10/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Critically ill patients with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) may require prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) admission and hence receive greater exposure to hospital enteral nutrition. It is unknown if augmented energy delivery with enteral nutrition during ICU admission impacts quality of life in survivors or gastrointestinal tolerance during nutrition delivery in the ICU. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to compare health-related quality of life, using the EuroQol five-dimensions five-level visual analogue scale at 6 months, in survivors who presented with a TBI and received augmented energy (1.5 kcal/ml) to those who received routine energy (1.0 kcal/ml). Secondary objectives were to explore differences in total energy and protein delivery, gastrointestinal tolerance, and mortality between groups. METHODS Secondary analysis of participants admitted with a TBI in the Augmented versus Routine Approach to Giving Energy Trial (TARGET) randomised controlled trial. Data are represented as n (%) or median (interquartile range). RESULTS Of the 3957 patients in TARGET, 231 (5.8%) were admitted after a TBI (augmented = 124; routine = 107). Patients within TARGET who were admitted with a TBI were relatively young (42 [27, 61] years) and received TARGET enteral nutrition for an extended period (9 [5, 15] days). At 6 months, EuroQol five-dimensions five-level quality-of-life scores were available for 166 TBI survivors (72% of TBI cohort randomised, augmented = 97, routine = 69). There was no evidence of a difference in quality of life (augmented = 70 [52, 90]; routine = 70 [55, 85]; median difference augmented vs routine = 0 [95% confidence interval: -5, 10]). TBI participants assigned to augmented energy received more energy with a similar protein than the routine group. Gastrointestinal tolerance was similar between groups. CONCLUSION While patients admitted after a TBI received enteral nutrition for an extended period, an increased exposure to augmented energy did not affect survivors' quality-of-life scores.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surviving critical illness leads to prolonged physical and functional recovery with both nutritional and physical rehabilitation interventions for prevention and treatment being investigated. Nutritional status and adequacy may influence outcome, but no consensus on which nutritional-related variables should be measured and reported in clinical trials exists. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to undertake a systematic review investigating the reporting of nutritional screening, nutritional status, and nutritional intake/delivery in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating nutritional and/or physical rehabilitation on physical and functional recovery during and following critical illness. METHODS Five electronic databases (MEDLINE, Web of Science, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Cochrane) were searched (last update 9 August, 2023). Search terms included both free text and standardized indexed terms. Studies included were RCTs assessing nutritional and/or physical interventions either during or following intensive care unit (ICU) admission in adults (18 y or older) with critical illness, and who required invasive mechanical ventilation for any duration during ICU admission. Study quality was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias tool for RCTs and descriptive data synthesis was performed and presented as counts (%). n t RESULTS: In total, 123 RCTs (30 nutritional, 87 physical function, and 6 combined) were included. Further, ≥1 nutritional variable was measured and/or reported in 99 (80%) of the studies including BMI (n = 69), body weight (n = 57), nutritional status (n = 11), nutritional risk (n = 10), energy delivery (n = 41), protein delivery (n = 35), handgrip strength (n = 40), and other nutritional-related muscle variables (n = 41). Only 3 studies were considered to have low risk of bias in all categories. CONCLUSIONS Few RCTs of physical rehabilitation measure and report nutritional or related variables. Future studies should measure and report specific nutritional factors that could impact physical and functional recovery to support interpretation where studies do not show benefit. This protocol was preregistered at PROSPERO as CRD42022315122.

Abstract
During critical illness, patients experience significant and rapid onsets of muscle wasting and dysfunction with loss of strength, mass, and power. These deficits often persist long after the ICU, leading to impairments in physical function including reduced exercise capacity and increased frailty and disability. While there are numerous studies describing the epidemiology of impaired muscle and physical function in the ICU, there are significantly fewer data investigating mechanisms of prolonged and persistent impairments in ICU survivors. Additionally, while several potential clinical risk factors associated with poor physical recovery have been identified, there remains a dearth of interventions that have effectively improved outcomes long-term among survivors. In this article, we aim to provide a thorough, evidence-based review of the current state of knowledge regarding muscle dysfunction and physical function after critical illness with a focus on post-ICU and post-hospitalization phase of recovery.

Abstract
Critical illness is a complex condition that can have a devastating impact on health and quality of life. Nutritional support is a crucial component of critical care that aims to maintain or restore nutritional status and muscle function. A one-size-fits-all approach to the components of nutritional support has not proven beneficial. Recent randomized controlled trials challenge the conventional strategy and support the safety and potential benefits of below-usual calorie and protein intakes at the early, acute phase of critical illness. Further research is needed to define optimal nutritional support throughout the intensive care unit stay. Individualized nutritional strategies relying on risk assessment tools or biomarkers deserve further investigation in rigorously designed, large, multicenter, randomized, controlled trials. Importantly, although nutritional support is crucial, it might not be sufficient to enhance the recovery of critically ill patients. Thus, achieving the greatest efficacy may require individualized nutritional support combined with early, prolonged physical rehabilitation within a multimodal, holistic care program throughout the patient's recovery journey.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES There are health disparities and inequities in the outcomes of critical illness survivors related to the influence of social determinants of health on recovery. The purpose of this study was to describe the relationship between critical illness recovery and the intermediary social determinants of health in the Canadian context. Because Canadian healthcare is provided within a universal publicly funded system, this analysis sheds light on the role of social determinants of health in the context of universal health services and a relatively robust social safety net. DESIGN In this qualitative interpretive description study, data from semi-structured interviews with intensive care unit survivors, family caregivers and healthcare providers were analysed using thematic and constant comparative methods. SETTING Western Canadian Hospital serving a population of 900 000 people. PARTICIPANTS The 74 study participants included 30 patients (mean age 58 years, 18 men and 12 women) and 25 family caregivers (mean age 55 years, 8 men and 17 women), representing 37 cases, as well as 19 healthcare providers. RESULTS Challenges with employment and finances, home set-up, transportation, food and nutrition, medications and social support complicated and hindered critical illness recovery. Critical illness sequelae also altered these social determinants of health, suggesting a reciprocal relationship. Furthermore, individuals experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage before critical illness described being at a greater disadvantage following their critical illness, which interfered with their recovery and suggests an accumulation of risk for some. CONCLUSIONS Our findings underscore the significant influence of social determinants of health on critical illness recovery, highlighting the importance of creating and evaluating comprehensive approaches to health and well-being that address health inequities.

Impact of withholding early parenteral nutrition on 2-year mortality and functional outcome in critically ill adults. Intensive Care Med 2024; 50:1593-1602. [PMID: 39017697 DOI: 10.1007/s00134-024-07546-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/29/2024] [Indexed: 07/18/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE In critically ill adults, withholding parenteral nutrition until 1 week after intensive care admission (Late-PN) facilitated recovery as compared with early supplementation of insufficient enteral nutrition with parenteral nutrition (Early-PN). However, the impact on long-term mortality and functional outcome, in relation to the estimated nutritional risk, remains unclear. METHODS In this prospective follow-up study of the multicenter EPaNIC randomized controlled trial, we investigated the impact of Late-PN on 2-year mortality (N = 4640) and physical functioning, assessed by the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36; in 3292 survivors, responding 819 [738-1058] days post-randomization). To account for missing data, we repeated the analyses in two imputed models. To identify potential heterogeneity of treatment effects, we investigated the impact of Late-PN in different nutritional risk subgroups as defined by Nutritional Risk Screening-2002-score, modified NUTrition Risk in the Critically Ill-score, and age (above/below 70 years), and we evaluated whether there was statistically significant interaction between classification to a nutritional risk subgroup and the effect of the randomized intervention. Secondary outcomes were SF-36-derived physical and mental component scores (PCS & MCS). RESULTS Two-year mortality (20.5% in Late-PN, 19.8% in Early-PN; P = 0.54) and physical functioning (70 [40-90] in both study-arms; P = 0.99) were similar in both groups, also after imputation of missing physical functioning data. Likewise, Late-PN had no impact on 2-year mortality and physical functioning in any nutritional risk subgroup. PCS and MCS were similar in both groups. CONCLUSION Late-PN did not alter 2-year survival and physical functioning in adult critically ill patients, independent of anticipated nutritional risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Respiratory failure is a life-threatening condition affecting millions of individuals in the United States annually. Survivors experience persistent functional impairments, decreased quality of life, and cognitive impairments. However, no established standard exists for measuring functional recovery among survivors of respiratory failure. RESEARCH QUESTION What outcomes are being used to measure and characterize functional recovery among survivors of respiratory failure? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS In this scoping review, we developed a review protocol following International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) guidelines. Two independent reviewers assessed titles and abstracts, followed by full-text review. Articles were included if study participants were aged 18 years or older, survived a hospitalization for acute respiratory failure, and received invasive mechanical ventilation as an intervention; identified function or functional recovery after respiratory failure as a study outcome; were peer-reviewed; and used any type of quantitative study design. RESULTS We reviewed 5,873 abstracts and identified 56 eligible articles. Among these articles, 28 distinct measures were used to assess functional recovery among survivors, including both performance-based measures (n = 8) and self-reported and proxy-reported measures (n = 20). Before 2019, 12 of the 28 distinct outcome measures (43%) were used, whereas 25 distinct measures (89%) were used from 2019 through 2024. The 6-min walk test appeared most frequently (46%) across the studies, and only 34 of 56 studies measured outcomes ≥ 6 months after discharge or study enrollment. INTERPRETATION Heterogeneity exists in how functional recovery is measured among survivors of respiratory failure, which highlights a need to establish a gold standard to ensure effective and consistent measurement.

BMJ Qual Saf 2024:bmjqs-2024-017081. [PMID: 39174335 DOI: 10.1136/bmjqs-2024-017081] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Accepted: 08/12/2024] [Indexed: 08/24/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Early mobilisation of intensive care unit (ICU) patients has been recommended in clinical practice guidelines. Therefore, the Japanese universal health insurance system introduced an additional fee for early mobilisation and/or rehabilitation, which can be claimed by hospitals when starting rehabilitation of ICU patients within 48 hours after their ICU admission. However, the effect of this fee is unknown. OBJECTIVE To measure the proportion of ICU patients who received early rehabilitation and the impact on length of ICU stay, the length of hospital stay and discharged to home after the introduction of the financial incentive (additional fee for early mobilisation and/or rehabilitation). DESIGN/METHODS We included patients who were admitted to ICU within 2 days of hospitalisation between April 2016 and January 2020. We conducted interrupted time series analyses to assess the effects of the introduction of the financial incentive. RESULTS The proportion of patients who received early rehabilitation immediately increased after the introduction of the financial incentive (rate ratio (RR) 1.293, 95% CI 1.240 to 1.349). The RR for proportion of patients received early rehabilitation was 1.008 (95% CI 1.005 to 1.011) in the period after the introduction of the financial incentive compared with period before its introduction. There was no statistically significant change in the mean length of ICU stay, the mean length of hospital stay and the proportion of patients who were discharged to home. CONCLUSION After the introduction of the financial incentive, the proportion of ICU patients who received early rehabilitation increased. However, the effects of the financial incentive on the length of ICU stay, the length of hospital stay and the proportion of patients who were discharged to home were limited.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Survivors of severe COVID-19 related respiratory failure may experience durable functional impairments. We aimed at investigating health-related quality of life (HR-QoL), physical functioning, fatigue, and cognitive outcomes in COVID-19 patients who received invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). METHODS Case-series, prospective, observational cohort study at 18 months from hospital discharge. Patients referring to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Humanitas Research Hospital (Milan, Italy) were recruited if they needed IMV due to COVID-19 related respiratory failure. After 18 months, these patients underwent the 6-min walking test (6MWT), the Italian version of the 5-level EQ-5D questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L), the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Fatigue questionnaire (FACIT-F), the Trail Making Test-B (TMT-B) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment-BLIND test (MoCA-BLIND). RESULTS 105 patients were studied. The population's age was 60 ± 10 years on average, with a median Frailty Scale of 2 (Hodgson et al., 2017; Carenzo et al., 2021a [2,3]). EQ-VAS was 80 [70-90] out of 100, walked distance was 406 [331-465] meters, corresponding to about 74 ± 19,1% of the predicted value. FACIT-F score was 43 [36-49] out of 52, and MoCa-BLIND score was 19 (DeSalvo et al., 2006; von Elm et al., 2008; Herdman et al., 2011; Scalone et al., 2015 [16-20]) out of 22. The median TMT-B time was 90 [62-120] seconds. We found a possible age and gender specific effect on HR-QoL and fatigue. CONCLUSIONS After 18 months from ICU discharge, survivors of severe COVID-19 respiratory failure experience a moderate reduction in HR-QoL, and a severe reduction in physical functioning. Fatigue prevalence is higher in younger patients and in females. Finally, cognitive impairment was present at a low frequency.

Abstract
Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) is a triad of physical, cognitive, and mental impairments that occur during or following the intensive care unit (ICU) stay, affecting the long-term prognosis of the patient and also the mental health of the patient's family. While the severity and duration of the systemic inflammation are associated with the occurrence of ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW), malnutrition and immobility during the treatment can exacerbate the symptoms. The goal of nutrition therapy in critically ill patients is to provide an adequate amount of energy and protein while addressing specific nutrient deficiencies to survive the inflammatory response and promote recovery from organ dysfunctions. Feeding strategy to prevent ICU-AW and PICS as nutrition therapy involves administering sufficient amounts of amino acids or proteins later in the acute phase after the hyperacute phase has passed, with specific attention to avoid energy overfeeding. Physiotherapy can also help mitigate muscle loss and subsequent physical impairment. However, many questions remain to be answered regarding the potential role and methods of nutrition therapy in association with ICU-AW and PICS, and further research is warranted.

Abstract
Recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown no benefit but dose-dependent harm by early full nutritional support in critically ill patients. Lack of benefit may be explained by anabolic resistance, suppression of cellular repair processes, and aggravation of hyperglycemia and insulin needs. Also early high amino acid doses did not provide benefit, but instead associated with harm in patients with organ dysfunctions. However, most studies focused on nutritional interventions initiated during the first days after intensive care unit admission. Although the intervention window of some RCTs extended into the post-acute phase of critical illness, no large RCTs studied nutritional interventions initiated beyond the first week. Hence, clear evidence-based guidance on when and how to initiate and advance nutrition is lacking. Prolonged underfeeding will come at a price as there is no validated metabolic monitor that indicates readiness for medical nutrition therapy, and an adequate response to nutrition, which likely varies between patients. Also micronutrient status cannot be assessed reliably, as inflammation can cause redistribution, so that plasma micronutrient concentrations are not necessarily reflective of total body stores. Moreover, high doses of individual micronutrients have not proven beneficial. Accordingly, current evidence provides clear guidance on which nutritional strategies to avoid, but the ideal nutritional regimen for individual patients remains unclear. In this narrative review, we summarize the findings of recent studies, discuss possible mechanisms explaining the results, point out pitfalls in interpretation of RCTs and their effect on clinical practice, and formulate suggestions for future research.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with long-term impairments in brain and muscle function that significantly impact the quality of life of those who survive the acute illness. The mechanisms underlying these impairments are not yet well understood, and evidence-based interventions to minimize the burden on patients remain unproved. The NHLBI of the NIH assembled a workshop in April 2023 to review the state of the science regarding ARDS-associated brain and muscle dysfunction, to identify gaps in current knowledge, and to determine priorities for future investigation. The workshop included presentations by scientific leaders across the translational science spectrum and was open to the public as well as the scientific community. This report describes the themes discussed at the workshop as well as recommendations to advance the field toward the goal of improving the health and well-being of ARDS survivors.

Abstract
PURPOSE Critical illness is associated with long-term increased mortality and impaired quality of life (QoL). We assessed whether multidisciplinary consultations would improve outcome at 12 months (M12) after intensive care unit (ICU) discharge. METHODS We performed an open, multicenter, parallel-group, randomized clinical trial. Eligible are patients discharged alive from ICU in 11 French hospitals between 2012 and 2018. The intervention group had a multidisciplinary face-to-face consultation involving an intensivist, a psychologist, and a social worker at ICU discharge and then at M3 and M6 (optional). The control group had standard post-ICU follow-up. A consultation was scheduled at M12 for all patients. The QoL was assessed using the EuroQol-5 Dimensions-5 Level (Euro-QoL-5D-5L) which includes five dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain, and anxiety/depression), each ranging from 1 to 5 (1: no, 2: slight, 3: moderate, 4: severe, and 5: extreme problems). The primary endpoint was poor clinical outcome defined as death or severe-to-extreme impairment of at least one EuroQoL-5D-5L dimension at M12. The information was collected by a blinded investigator by phone. Secondary outcomes were functional, psychological, and cognitive status at M12 consultation. RESULTS 540 patients were included (standard, n = 272; multidisciplinary, n = 268). The risk for a poor outcome was significantly greater in the multidisciplinary group than in the standard group [adjusted odds ratio 1.49 (95% confidence interval, (1.04-2.13)]. Seventy-two (13.3%) patients died at M12 (standard, n = 32; multidisciplinary, n = 40). The functional, psychological, and cognitive scores at M12 did not statistically differ between groups. CONCLUSIONS A hospital-based, face-to-face, intensivist-led multidisciplinary consultation at ICU discharge then at 3 and 6 months was associated with poor outcome 1 year after ICU.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review aims to summarize recent literature findings on long-term outcomes following critical illness and to highlight potential strategies for preventing and managing health deterioration in survivors of critical care. RECENT FINDINGS A substantial number of critical care survivors experience new or exacerbated impairments in their physical, cognitive or mental health, commonly named as postintensive care syndrome (PICS). Furthermore, those who survive critical illness often face an elevated risk of adverse outcomes in the months following their hospital stay, including infections, cardiovascular events, rehospitalizations and increased mortality. These findings underscore the need for effective prevention and management of long-term health deterioration in the critical care setting. While robust evidence from well designed randomized clinical trials is limited, potential interventions encompass sedation limitation, early mobilization, delirium prevention and family presence during intensive care unit (ICU) stay, as well as multicomponent transition programs (from ICU to ward, and from hospital to home) and specialized posthospital discharge follow-up. SUMMARY In this review, we offer a concise overview of recent insights into the long-term outcomes of critical care survivors and advancements in the prevention and management of health deterioration after critical illness.

Abstract
Secondary muscle weakness in critically ill patients like intensive care unit (ICU)-associated weakness is frequently noted in patients with prolonged mechanical ventilation and ICU stay. It can be a result of critical illness, myopathy, or neuropathy. Although ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) has been known for a while, there is still no effective treatment for it. Therefore, prevention of ICU-AW becomes the utmost priority, and knowing the risk factors is crucial. Nevertheless, the pathophysiology and the attributing causes are complex for ICU-AW, and proper delineation and formulation of a preventive strategy from such vast, multifaceted data are challenging. Artificial intelligence has recently helped healthcare professionals understand and analyze such intricate data through deep machine learning. Hence, using such a strategy also helps in knowing the risk factors and their weight as contributors, applying them in formulating a preventive path for ICU-AW worth trials.

[PMID: 38524515 PMCID: PMC10955529 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v12.i7.1235] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 01/20/2024] [Accepted: 02/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/29/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is a common complication that significantly impacts the patient's recovery process, even leading to adverse outcomes. Currently, there is a lack of effective preventive measures. AIM To identify significant risk factors for ICU-AW through iterative machine learning techniques and offer recommendations for its prevention and treatment. METHODS Patients were categorized into ICU-AW and non-ICU-AW groups on the 14th day post-ICU admission. Relevant data from the initial 14 d of ICU stay, such as age, comorbidities, sedative dosage, vasopressor dosage, duration of mechanical ventilation, length of ICU stay, and rehabilitation therapy, were gathered. The relationships between these variables and ICU-AW were examined. Utilizing iterative machine learning techniques, a multilayer perceptron neural network model was developed, and its predictive performance for ICU-AW was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS Within the ICU-AW group, age, duration of mechanical ventilation, lorazepam dosage, adrenaline dosage, and length of ICU stay were significantly higher than in the non-ICU-AW group. Additionally, sepsis, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, hypoalbuminemia, acute heart failure, respiratory failure, acute kidney injury, anemia, stress-related gastrointestinal bleeding, shock, hypertension, coronary artery disease, malignant tumors, and rehabilitation therapy ratios were significantly higher in the ICU-AW group, demonstrating statistical significance. The most influential factors contributing to ICU-AW were identified as the length of ICU stay (100.0%) and the duration of mechanical ventilation (54.9%). The neural network model predicted ICU-AW with an area under the curve of 0.941, sensitivity of 92.2%, and specificity of 82.7%. CONCLUSION The main factors influencing ICU-AW are the length of ICU stay and the duration of mechanical ventilation. A primary preventive strategy, when feasible, involves minimizing both ICU stay and mechanical ventilation duration.

Mobile Critical Care Recovery Program for Survivors of Acute Respiratory Failure: A Randomized Clinical Trial. JAMA Netw Open 2024; 7:e2353158. [PMID: 38289602 PMCID: PMC10828910 DOI: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2023.53158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Importance Over 50% of Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF) survivors experience cognitive, physical, and psychological impairments that negatively impact their quality of life (QOL). Objective To evaluate the efficacy of a post-intensive care unit (ICU) program, the Mobile Critical Care Recovery Program (m-CCRP) consisting of a nurse care coordinator supported by an interdisciplinary team, in improving the QOL of ARF survivors. Design, Setting, and Participants This randomized clinical trial with concealed outcome assessments among ARF survivors was conducted from March 1, 2017, to April 30, 2022, with a 12-month follow-up. Patients were admitted to the ICU services of 4 Indiana hospitals (1 community, 1 county, 2 academic), affiliated with the Indiana University School of Medicine. Intervention A 12-month nurse-led collaborative care intervention (m-CCRP) supported by an interdisciplinary group of clinicians (2 intensivists, 1 geriatrician, 1 ICU nurse, and 1 neuropsychologist) was compared with a telephone-based control. The intervention comprised longitudinal symptom monitoring coupled with nurse-delivered care protocols targeting cognition, physical function, personal care, mobility, sleep disturbances, pain, depression, anxiety, agitation or aggression, delusions or hallucinations, stress and physical health, legal and financial needs, and medication adherence. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was QOL as measured by the 36-item Medical Outcomes Study Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS), with scores on each component ranging from 0-100, and higher scores indicating better health status. Results In an intention-to-treat analysis among 466 ARF survivors (mean [SD] age, 56.1 [14.4] years; 250 [53.6%] female; 233 assigned to each group), the m-CCRP intervention for 12 months did not significantly improve the QOL compared with the control group (estimated difference in change from baseline between m-CCRP and control group: 1.61 [95% CI, -1.06 to 4.29] for SF-36 PCS; -2.50 [95% CI, -5.29 to 0.30] for SF-36 MCS. Compared with the control group, the rates of hospitalization were higher in the m-CCRP group (117 [50.2%] vs 95 [40.8%]; P = .04), whereas the 12-month mortality rates were not statistically significantly lower (24 [10.3%] vs 38 [16.3%]; P = .05). Conclusions and Relevance Findings from this randomized clinical trial indicated that a nurse-led 12-month comprehensive interdisciplinary care intervention did not significantly improve the QOL of ARF survivors after ICU hospitalization. These results suggest that further research is needed to identify specific patient groups who could benefit from tailored post-ICU interventions. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03053245.

Abstract
As the treatment options, modalities and technology have grown, mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) has been on the decline. More and more patients are being discharged to wards and in the care of their loved ones after prolonged treatment at times and sometimes in isolation. These survivors have a lower life expectancy and a poorer quality of life. They can have substantial familial financial implications and an economic impact on the healthcare system in terms of increased and continued utilisation of services, the so-called post intensive care syndrome (PICS). But it is not only the patient who is the sufferer. The mental health of the loved ones and family members may also be affected, which is termed as PICS-family. In this review, we shall be reviewing the definition, epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis and evaluation, treatment and follow up of PICS. We shall also focus on measures to prevent, rehabilitate and understand the ICU stay from patients’ perspective on how to redesign the ICU, post ICU care needs for a better patient outcome.

Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Rehabilitation in Critically Ill Patients 2023 (J-ReCIP 2023). J Intensive Care 2023; 11:47. [PMID: 37932849 PMCID: PMC10629099 DOI: 10.1186/s40560-023-00697-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Providing standardized, high-quality rehabilitation for critically ill patients is a crucial issue. In 2017, the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine (JSICM) promulgated the "Evidence-Based Expert Consensus for Early Rehabilitation in the Intensive Care Unit" to advocate for the early initiation of rehabilitations in Japanese intensive care settings. Building upon this seminal work, JSICM has recently conducted a rigorous systematic review utilizing the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology. This endeavor resulted in the formulation of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs), designed to elucidate best practices in early ICU rehabilitation. The primary objective of this guideline is to augment clinical understanding and thereby facilitate evidence-based decision-making, ultimately contributing to the enhancement of patient outcomes in critical care settings. No previous CPGs in the world has focused specifically on rehabilitation of critically ill patients, using the GRADE approach. Multidisciplinary collaboration is extremely important in rehabilitation. Thus, the CPGs were developed by 73 members of a Guideline Development Group consisting of a working group, a systematic review group, and an academic guideline promotion group, with the Committee for the Clinical Practice Guidelines of Early Mobilization and Rehabilitation in Intensive Care of the JSICM at its core. Many members contributed to the development of the guideline, including physicians and healthcare professionals with multiple and diverse specialties, as well as a person who had been patients in ICU. Based on discussions among the group members, eight important clinical areas of focus for this CPG were identified. Fourteen important clinical questions (CQs) were then developed for each area. The public was invited to comment twice, and the answers to the CQs were presented in the form of 10 GRADE recommendations and commentary on the four background questions. In addition, information for each CQ has been created as a visual clinical flow to ensure that the positioning of each CQ can be easily understood. We hope that the CPGs will be a useful tool in the rehabilitation of critically ill patients for multiple professions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Long COVID is a chronic condition that follows after acute COVID-19 and is characterized by a wide range of persistent, cyclic symptoms. SOURCES OF DATA PubMed search for publications featuring 'Long COVID' or 'post-acute sequelae of COVID-19'. AREAS OF AGREEMENT Long COVID occurs frequently post-acute COVID-19, with a majority of people experiencing at least one symptom (such as cough, fatigue, myalgia, anosmia and dyspnoea) 4 weeks after infection. AREAS OF CONTROVERSY The specific symptoms and the minimum duration of symptoms required to be defined as Long COVID. GROWING POINTS There is a consistent reduction in Long COVID incidence amongst vaccinated individuals, although the extent of this effect remains unclear. AREAS TIMELY FOR DEVELOPING RESEARCH There is an urgent need to understand the causes of Long COVID, especially extreme fatigue more than 6 months after infection. We must understand who is at risk and whether reinfections similarly risk Long COVID.

[PMID: 36436792 DOI: 10.1016/j.jval.2022.11.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2022] [Revised: 10/24/2022] [Accepted: 11/16/2022] [Indexed: 06/04/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to explore the 1-year temporal change in prevalence, variety, and potential risk factors of long COVID symptoms and to further predict the prognostic trends of long COVID. METHODS We searched electronic databases for related studies published from January 2020 to February 2022 and conducted 1-group meta-analysis and locally weighted regression to explore the monthly temporal change in the prevalence of each long COVID symptom in 1-year follow-up period. RESULTS A total of 137 studies were included in meta-analysis, including 134 093 participants. The temporal change of any long COVID symptom showed a steep decrease initially (from 92% at acute phase to 55% at 1-month follow-up), followed by stabilization at approximately 50% during 1-year follow-up. Six months or more after the acute phase, the odds ratio of population characteristic-related factors increased, such as female (from 1.62 to 1.82), whereas the odds ratio value of acute phase-related factors (severe or critical cases and hospitalization) decreased. As for specific symptoms, approximately two-thirds of the symptoms did not significantly reduce during the 1-year follow-up, and the neuropsychiatric symptoms showed a higher long-term prevalence (approximately 25%) and longer persistence than physical symptoms. CONCLUSIONS The temporal changes in the prevalence and characteristics speculate that long COVID may persist longer than expected. In particular, we should pay more attention to neuropsychiatric symptoms and other symptoms for which there is no significant downward trend in prevalence. The influence of acute phase-related factors for long COVID gradually decreases over time, whereas the influence of population characteristic-related factors gradually increases.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Many critically ill patients face physical, mental or neurocognitive impairments up to years later, the etiology remaining largely unexplained. Aberrant epigenetic changes have been linked to abnormal development and diseases resulting from adverse environmental exposures like major stress or inadequate nutrition. Theoretically, severe stress and artificial nutritional management of critical illness thus could induce epigenetic changes explaining long-term problems. We review supporting evidence. RECENT FINDINGS Epigenetic abnormalities are found in various critical illness types, affecting DNA-methylation, histone-modification and noncoding RNAs. They at least partly arise de novo after ICU-admission. Many affect genes with functions relevant for and several associate with long-term impairments. As such, de novo DNA-methylation changes in critically ill children statistically explained part of their disturbed long-term physical/neurocognitive development. These methylation changes were in part evoked by early-parenteral-nutrition (early-PN) and statistically explained harm by early-PN on long-term neurocognitive development. Finally, long-term epigenetic abnormalities beyond hospital-discharge have been identified, affecting pathways highly relevant for long-term outcomes. SUMMARY Epigenetic abnormalities induced by critical illness or its nutritional management provide a plausible molecular basis for their adverse effects on long-term outcomes. Identifying treatments to further attenuate these abnormalities opens perspectives to reduce the debilitating legacy of critical illness.

Long-term physical impairments in survivors of COVID-19-associated ARDS compared with classic ARDS: A two-center study. J Crit Care 2023; 76:154285. [PMID: 36889040 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcrc.2023.154285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2022] [Revised: 01/22/2023] [Accepted: 02/25/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE This work aimed to compare physical impairment in survivors of classic ARDS compared with COVID-19-associated ARDS (CARDS) survivors. MATERIAL AND METHODS This is a prospective observational cohort study on 248 patients with CARDS and compared them with a historical cohort of 48 patients with classic ARDS. Physical performance was evaluated at 6 and 12 months after ICU discharge, using the Medical Research Council Scale (MRCss), 6-min walk test (6MWT), handgrip dynamometry (HGD), and fatigue severity score (FSS). We also assessed activities of daily living (ADLs) using the Barthel index. RESULTS At 6 months, patients with classic ARDS had lower HGD (estimated difference [ED]: 11.71 kg, p < 0.001; ED 31.9% of predicted value, p < 0.001), 6MWT distance (ED: 89.11 m, p < 0.001; ED 12.96% of predicted value, p = 0.032), and more frequent significant fatigue (OR 0.35, p = 0.046). At 12 months, patients with classic ARDS had lower HGD (ED: 9.08 kg, p = 0.0014; ED 25.9% of predicted value, p < 0.001) and no difference in terms of 6MWT and fatigue. At 12 months, patients with classic ARDS improved their MRCss (ED 2.50, p = 0.006) and HGD (ED: 4.13 kg, p = 0.002; ED 9.45% of predicted value, p = 0.005), while those with CARDS did not. Most patients in both groups regained independence in ADLs at 6 months. COVID-19 diagnosis was a significant independent predictor of better HGD (p < 0.0001) and 6MWT performance (p = 0.001), and lower prevalence of fatigue (p = 0.018). CONCLUSIONS Both classic ARDS and CARDS survivors experienced long-term impairments in physical functioning, confirming that post-intensive care syndrome remains a major legacy of critical illness. Surprisingly, however, persisting disability was more common in survivors of classic ARDS than in CARDS survivors. In fact, muscle strength measured with HGD was reduced in survivors of classic ARDS compared to CARDS patients at both 6 and 12 months. The 6MWT was reduced and fatigue was more common in classic ARDS compared to CARDS at 6 months but differences were no longer significant at 12 months. Most patients in both groups regained independent function in ADLs at 6 months.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inability to return to work (RTW) is common after acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to examine interrelationships among pre-ARDS workload, illness severity, and post-ARDS cognitive, psychological, interpersonal, and physical function with RTW at 6 and 12 months after ARDS. METHODS We conducted a secondary analysis using the US multicentre ARDS Network Long-Term Outcomes Study. The US Occupational Information Network was used to determine pre-ARDS workload. The Mini-Mental State Examination and SF-36 were used to measure four domains of post-ARDS function. Analyses used structural equation modeling and mediation analyses. RESULTS Among 329 previously employed ARDS survivors, 6- and 12-month RTW rates were 52% and 56%, respectively. Illness severity (standardised coefficients range: -0.51 to -0.54, p < 0.001) had a negative effect on RTW at 6 months, whereas function at 6 months (psychological [0.42, p < 0.001], interpersonal [0.40, p < 0.001], and physical [0.43, p < 0.001]) had a positive effect. Working at 6 months (0.79 to 0.72, P < 0.001) had a positive effect on RTW at 12 months, whereas illness severity (-0.32 to -0.33, p = 0.001) and post-ARDS function (psychological [6 months: 0.44, p < 0.001; 12 months: 0.33, p = 0.002], interpersonal [0.44, p < 0.001; 0.22, p = 0.03], and physical abilities [0.47, p < 0.001; 0.33, p = 0.007]) only had an indirect effect on RTW at 12 months mediated through work at 6 months. CONCLUSIONS RTW at 12 months was associated with patients' illness severity; post-ARDS cognitive, psychological, interpersonal, and physical function; and working at 6 months. Among these factors, working at 6 months and function may be modifiable mediators of 12-month post-ARDS RTW. Improving ARDS survivors' RTW may include optimisation of workload after RTW, along with interventions across the healthcare spectrum to improve patients' physical, psychological, and interpersonal function.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Delirium is common among patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and its impact on the neurocognitive and psychiatric state of survivors is of great interest. These new-onset or worsening conditions, together with physical alterations, are called post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). Our aim is to update on the latest screening and follow-up options for psychological and cognitive sequelae of PICS. METHOD This narrative review discusses the occurrence of delirium in ICU settings and the relatively new concept of PICS. Psychiatric and neurocognitive morbidities that may occur in survivors of critical illness following delirium are addressed. Future perspectives for practice and research are discussed. RESULTS There is no "gold standard" for diagnosing delirium in the ICU, but two extensively validated tools, the confusion assessment method for the ICU and the intensive care delirium screening checklist, are often used. PICS complaints are frequent in ICU survivors who have suffered delirium and have been recognized as an important public health and socio-economic problem worldwide. Depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and long-term cognitive impairment are recurrently exhibited. Screening tools for these deficits are discussed, as well as the suggestion of early assessment after discharge and at 3 and 12 months. CONCLUSIONS Delirium is a complex but common phenomenon in the ICU and a risk factor for PICS. Its diagnosis is challenging with potential long-term adverse outcomes, including psychiatric and cognitive difficulties. The implementation of screening and follow-up protocols for PICS sequelae is warranted to ensure early detection and appropriate management.

Burns 2023; 49:26-33. [PMID: 36424236 DOI: 10.1016/j.burns.2022.10.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2022] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 10/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) has been described in intensive care (ICU) survivors, being present in 50% of patients surviving 12 months, with well-defined risk factors. Severely burned patients combine many of these risk factors, but the prevalence of PICS has not yet been documented in burns. The study aimed to answer this question and identify associations of PICS with clinical characteristics. METHODS Cross-sectional descriptive study of major burn survivors admitted to the burn ICU between 2013 and 2019. Main inclusion criteria: major burns>20 %BSA and ICU admission. The PICS components were assessed using three questionnaires: 1) Physical with Burn Specific Health Scale-Brief (BSHS-B); 2) Cognitive health with MacNair Cognitive Difficulties Self-Rating Scale (CDS); 3) Mental health with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire. PICS was considered present if at least one component out of three was abnormal. Data as mean±SD. RESULTS Among the 288 patients admitted during the period, 132 met the inclusion criteria: 53 patients were finally enrolled. They were aged 44 ± 18 years at the time of injury and burned 24 ± 20 BSA % and stayed 25 ± 44 days in the ICU. PICS was identified in 35 patients (66 %): more than one component was altered in 21 patients (60 %). Principal risk factors were more than 3 general anesthetics, prolonged mechanical ventilation (>4 days), ICU stay (>8 days), and hospital stay (>25 days) CONCLUSION: PICS occurred in 66 % of major burns with two or three components affected simultaneously in 60 %, i.e. more frequently than in general ICU patients.

Abstract
Purpose Prolonged bed rest and immobility in the intensive care units (ICU) increase the risk of ICU-acquired weakness (ICUAW) and other complications. Mobilisation has been shown to improve patient outcomes but may be limited by the perceived barriers of healthcare professionals to mobilisation. The Patient Mobilisation Attitudes and Beliefs Survey for the ICU (PMABS-ICU) was adapted to assess perceived barriers to mobility in the Singapore context (PMABS-ICU-SG). Methods The 26-item PMABS-ICU-SG was disseminated to doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, and respiratory therapists working in ICU of various hospitals across Singapore. Overall and subscale (knowledge, attitude, and behaviour) scores were obtained and compared with the clinical roles, years of work experience, and type of ICU of the survey respondents. Results A total of 86 responses were received. Of these, 37.2% (32/86) were physiotherapists, 27.9% (24/86) were respiratory therapists, 24.4% (21/86) were nurses and 10.5% (9/86) were doctors. Physiotherapists had significantly lower mean barrier scores in overall and all subscales compared to nurses (p < 0.001), respiratory therapists (p < 0.001), and doctors (p = 0.001). A poor correlation (r = 0.079, p < 0.05) was found between years of experience and the overall barrier score. There was no statistically significant difference in the overall barriers score between types of ICU (χ2(2) = 4.720, p = 0.317). Conclusion In Singapore, physiotherapists had significantly lower perceived barriers to mobilisation compared to the other three professions. Years of experience and type of ICU had no significance in relation to barriers to mobilisation.

Abstract
Although numerous observational studies associated underfeeding with poor outcome, recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown that early full nutritional support does not benefit critically ill patients and may induce dose-dependent harm. Some researchers have suggested that the absence of benefit in RCTs may be attributed to overrepresentation of patients deemed at low nutritional risk, or to a too low amino acid versus non-protein energy dose in the nutritional formula. However, these hypotheses have not been confirmed by strong evidence. RCTs have not revealed any subgroup benefiting from early full nutritional support, nor benefit from increased amino acid doses or from indirect calorimetry-based energy dosing targeted at 100% of energy expenditure. Mechanistic studies attributed the absence of benefit of early feeding to anabolic resistance and futile catabolism of extra provided amino acids, and to feeding-induced suppression of recovery-enhancing pathways such as autophagy and ketogenesis, which opened perspectives for fasting-mimicking diets and ketone supplementation. Yet, the presence or absence of an anabolic response to feeding cannot be predicted or monitored and likely differs over time and among patients. In the absence of such monitor, the value of indirect calorimetry seems obscure, especially in the acute phase of illness. Until now, large feeding RCTs have focused on interventions that were initiated in the first week of critical illness. There are no large RCTs that investigated the impact of different feeding strategies initiated after the acute phase and continued after discharge from the intensive care unit in patients recovering from critical illness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether fasting early in critical illness course is acceptable is not clear and high-quality data on this topic are lacking. To generate equipoise for future clinical trials and bring additional data to current literature, we compared outcomes of patients fasted during the first 72 h of intensive care unit (ICU) stay to patients receiving any nutrition support during this period. METHODS Retrospective cohort study of a medical ICU from a tertiary academic center in Brazil. Adult patients treated between November 2017 and February 2022 with an ICU length of stay of ≥5 days were included. Baseline and daily data were retrieved from the prospectively collected administrative database. We did 1:1 propensity score matching to compare patients fasting for at least 72 h with controls. Primary outcome was hospital mortality and secondary outcomes were other resources' use. RESULTS During the study period, 1591 patients were cared for in this ICU, of which 998 stayed ≥5 days. After excluding readmissions and propensity score matching, 93 patients in the fasting group were matched to 93 controls. Hospital mortality was similar between fasting and matched control groups (odds ratio = 1.04; 95% CI = 0.56-1.94; P > 0.99). Secondary outcomes were not different between groups, including length of stay, days on mechanical ventilation, and incidence of new infections. CONCLUSION Withholding nutrition support in the first 72 h of ICU stay was not associated with worse outcomes in this cohort of severe critically ill patients.

Abstract
Background Delirium affects up to 80% of patients who are mechanically ventilated in the intensive care unit (ICU) but often goes undetected because of incomplete and/or inaccurate clinician evaluation and documentation. A lack of effective, feasible, and sustainable educational methods represents a key barrier to efforts to optimize, scale, and sustain delirium detection competencies. Progress with such barriers may be addressed with asynchronous video-based education. Objective To evaluate a novel ICU Delirium Video Series for bedside providers via a knowledge assessment quiz and a feedback questionnaire. Methods An interdisciplinary team scripted and filmed an educational ICU Delirium Video Series, providing detailed instruction on delirium detection using the validated CAM-ICU (Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU). A cohort of bedside nurses subsequently viewed and evaluated the ICU Delirium Video Series using a feedback questionnaire and a previously developed knowledge assessment quiz pre- and post-video viewing. Results Twenty nurses from four ICUs viewed the ICU Delirium Video Series and completed the pre-post quiz and questionnaire. Ten (50%) respondents had 10 or more years of ICU experience, and seven (35%) reported receiving no CAM-ICU education locally. After video viewing, overall pre-post scores improved significantly (66% vs. 79%; P < 0.0001). In addition, after video viewing, more nurses reported comfort in their ability to evaluate and manage patients with delirium. Conclusion Viewing the ICU Delirium Video Series resulted in significant improvements in knowledge and yielded valuable feedback. Asynchronous video-based delirium education can improve knowledge surrounding a key bedside competency.

Abstract
Optimal energy and protein delivery goals for critically ill patients remain unknown. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the impact of energy and protein delivery during the first 4 to 10 days of an ICU stay on physical impairments. We performed a systematic literature search of MEDLINE, CENTRAL, and ICHUSHI to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared energy delivery at a cut-off of 20 kcal/kg/day or 70% of estimated energy expenditure or protein delivery at 1 g/kg/day achieved within 4 to 10 days after admission to the ICU. The primary outcome was activities of daily living (ADL). Secondary outcomes were physical functions, changes in muscle mass, quality of life, mortality, length of hospital stay, and adverse events. Fifteen RCTs on energy delivery and 14 on protein were included in the analysis. No significant differences were observed in any of the outcomes included for energy delivery. However, regarding protein delivery, there was a slight improvement in ADL (odds ratio 21.55, 95% confidence interval (CI) −1.30 to 44.40, p = 0.06) and significantly attenuated muscle loss (mean difference 0.47, 95% CI 0.24 to 0.71, p < 0.0001). Limited numbers of RCTs were available to analyze the effects of physical impairments. In contrast to energy delivery, protein delivery ≥1 g/kg/day achieved within 4 to 10 days after admission to the ICU significantly attenuated muscle loss and slightly improved ADL in critically ill patients. Further RCTs are needed to investigate their effects on physical impairments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to provide preliminary data for improving the health-related quality of life of long-term intensive care unit survivors by identifying the relationship between health-related quality of life and post-intensive care syndrome. METHODS Using a descriptive correlation research design, data from patients who visited the outpatient department for continuous treatment after discharge from the intensive care unit were analysed. Post-intensive care syndrome was measured by physical, cognitive, and mental problems. Data were collected from 1st August to 31st December, 2019, and 121 intensive care unit survivors participated in the study. RESULTS Health-related quality of life showed a negative correlation with physical, mental, and cognitive problems. The factors associated with health-related quality of life were physical and mental problems, education level, sedatives and neuromuscular relaxants, and marital status. CONCLUSIONS To improve the health-related quality of life of intensive care unit survivors, post-intensive care syndrome prevention is important, and a systematic strategy is required through a long-term longitudinal trace study. In addition, intensive care unit nurses and other healthcare professionals need to provide early interventions to reduce post-intensive care syndrome.

Abstract
Background Critically ill patients are at risk of developing a postintensive care syndrome (PICS), which is characterized by physical, psychological, and cognitive impairments and which dramatically impacts the patient’s quality of life (QoL). No intervention has been shown to improve QoL. We hypothesized that a medical, psychological, and social follow-up would improve QoL by mitigating the PICS. Objective This multicenter, randomized controlled trial (SUIVI-REA) aims to compare a multidisciplinary follow-up with a standard postintensive care unit (ICU) follow-up. Methods Patients were randomized to the control or intervention arm. In the intervention arm, multidisciplinary follow-up involved medical, psychological, and social evaluation at ICU discharge and at 3, 6, and 12 months thereafter. In the placebo group, patients were seen only at 12 months by the multidisciplinary team. Baseline characteristics at ICU discharge were collected for all patients. The primary outcome was QoL at 1 year, assessed using the Euro Quality of Life-5 dimensions (EQ5D). Secondary outcomes were mortality, cognitive, psychological, and functional status; social and professional reintegration; and the rate of rehospitalization and outpatient consultations at 1 year. Results The study was funded by the Ministry of Health in June 2010. It was approved by the Ethics Committee on July 8, 2011. The first and last patient were randomized on December 20, 2012, and September 1, 2017, respectively. A total of 546 patients were enrolled across 11 ICUs. At present, data management is ongoing, and all parties involved in the trial remain blinded. Conclusions The SUVI-REA multicenter randomized controlled trial aims to assess whether a post-ICU multidisciplinary follow-up improves QoL at 1 year.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe a guidance on the management of post-acute COVID 19 patients in geriatric rehabilitation. METHODS The guidance is based on guidelines for post-acute COVID-19 geriatric rehabilitation developed in the Netherlands, updated with recent insights from literature, related guidance from other countries and disciplines, and combined with experiences from experts in countries participating in the Geriatric Rehabilitation Special Interest Group of the European Geriatric Medicine Society. RESULTS This guidance for post-acute COVID-19 rehabilitation is divided into a section addressing general recommendations for geriatric rehabilitation and a section addressing specific processes and procedures. The Sect. "General recommendations for geriatric rehabilitation" addresses: (1) general requirements for post-acute COVID-19 rehabilitation and (2) critical aspects for quality assurance during COVID-19 pandemic. The Sect. "Specific processes and procedures", addresses the following topics: (1) patient selection; (2) admission; (3) treatment; (4) discharge; and (5) follow-up and monitoring. CONCLUSION Providing tailored geriatric rehabilitation treatment to post-acute COVID-19 patients is a challenge for which the guidance is designed to provide support. There is a strong need for additional evidence on COVID-19 geriatric rehabilitation including developing an understanding of risk profiles of older patients living with frailty to develop individualised treatment regimes. The present guidance will be regularly updated based on additional evidence from practice and research.

Understanding Patients' Perceived Health After Critical Illness: Analysis of Two Prospective, Longitudinal Studies of ARDS Survivors. Chest 2022; 161:407-417.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perceived health is one of the strongest determinants of subjective well-being, but it has received little attention among survivors of ARDS. RESEARCH QUESTION How well do self-reported measures of physical, emotional, and social functioning predict perceived overall health (measured using the EQ-5D visual analog scale [EQ-5D-VAS]) among adult survivors of ARDS? Are demographic features, comorbidity, or severity of illness correlated with perceived health after controlling for self-reported functioning? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS We analyzed the ARDSNet Long Term Outcomes Study (ALTOS) and Improving Care of Acute Lung Injury Patients (ICAP) Study, two longitudinal cohorts with a total of 823 survivors from 44 US hospitals, which prospectively assessed survivors at 6 and 12 months after ARDS. Perceived health, evaluated using the EQ-5D-VAS, was predicted using ridge regression and self-reported measures of physical, emotional, and social functioning. The difference between observed and predicted perceived health was termed perspective deviation (PD). Correlations between PD and demographics, comorbidities, and severity of illness were explored. RESULTS The correlation between observed and predicted EQ-5D-VAS scores ranged from 0.68 to 0.73 across the two cohorts and time points. PD ranged from -80 to +34 and was more than the minimum clinically important difference for 52% to 55% of survivors. Neither demographic features, comorbidity, nor severity of illness were correlated strongly with PD, with |r| < 0.25 for all continuous variables in both cohorts and time points. The correlation between PD at 6- and 12-month assessments was weak (ALTOS: r = 0.22, P < .001; ICAP: r = 0.20, P = .02). INTERPRETATION About half of survivors of ARDS showed clinically important differences in actual perceived health vs predicted perceived health based on self-reported measures of functioning. Survivors of ARDS demographic features, comorbidities, and severity of illness were correlated only weakly with perceived health after controlling for measures of perceived functioning, highlighting the challenge of predicting how individual patients will respond psychologically to new impairments after critical illness.

Life (Basel) 2022; 12:life12010107. [PMID: 35054500 PMCID: PMC8778667 DOI: 10.3390/life12010107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 40] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2021] [Revised: 01/08/2022] [Accepted: 01/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Current achievements in medical science and technological advancements in intensive care medicine have allowed better support of critically ill patients in intensive care units (ICUs) and have increased survival probability. Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) is a relatively new term introduced almost 10 years ago, defined as "new or worsening impairments in physical, cognitive, or mental health status arising after critical illness and persisting beyond acute care hospitalization". A significant percentage of critically ill patients suffer from PICS for a prolonged period of time, with physical problems being the most common. The exact prevalence of PICS is unknown, and many risk factors have been described well. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) survivors seem to be at especially high risk for developing PICS. The families of ICU survivors can also be affected as a response to the stress suffered during the critical illness of their kin. This separate entity is described as PICS family (PICS-F). A multidisciplinary approach is warranted for the treatment of PICS, involving healthcare professionals, clinicians, and scientists from different areas. Improving outcomes is both challenging and imperative for the critical care community. The review of the relevant literature and the study of the physical, cognitive, and mental sequelae could lead to the prevention and timely management of PICS and the subsequent improvement of the quality of life for ICU survivors.

Abstract
Introduction Survivors of acute respiratory failure (ARF) commonly experience long-lasting physical, cognitive, and/or mental health impairments. Unmet medication needs occurring immediately after hospital discharge may have an important effect on subsequent recovery. Methods and analysis In this multicenter prospective cohort study, we enrolled ARF survivors who were discharged directly home from their acute care hospitalization. The primary exposure was unmet medication needs. The primary outcome was hospital readmission or death within 3 months after discharge. We performed a propensity score analysis, using inverse probability weighting for the primary exposure, to evaluate the exposure–outcome association, with an a priori sample size of 200 ARF survivors. Results We enrolled 200 ARF survivors, of whom 107 (53%) were female and 77 (39%) were people of color. Median (IQR) age was 55 (43–66) years, APACHE II score 20 (15–26) points, and hospital length of stay 14 (9–21) days. Of the 200 participants, 195 (98%) were in the analytic cohort. One hundred fourteen (57%) patients had at least one unmet medication need; the proportion of medication needs that were unmet was 6% (0–15%). Fifty-six (29%) patients were readmitted or died by 3 months; 10 (5%) died within 3 months. Unmet needs were not associated (risk ratio 1.25; 95% CI 0.75–2.1) with hospital readmission or death, although a higher proportion of unmet needs may have been associated with increased hospital readmission (risk ratio 1.7; 95% CI 0.96–3.1) and decreased mortality (risk ratio 0.13; 95% CI 0.02–0.99). Discussion Unmet medication needs are common among survivors of acute respiratory failure shortly after discharge home. The association of unmet medication needs with 3-month readmission and mortality is complex and requires additional investigation to inform clinical trials of interventions to reduce unmet medication needs. Study registration number: NCT03738774. The study was prospectively registered before enrollment of the first patient.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) poses a threat to the health and independence of older people in particular. In this article we elaborate on the content and importance of post-acute COVID-19 geriatric rehabilitation from a European perspective. We explain the geriatric rehabilitation paradox and how this can and should be solved. We also present what post-acute COVID-19 geriatric rehabilitation should entail. This might not only help us to develop better geriatric rehabilitation services, but it should also inform pandemic preparedness in the future.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a heterogeneous clinical syndrome. Understanding of the complex pathways involved in lung injury pathogenesis, resolution, and repair has grown considerably in recent decades. Nevertheless, to date, only therapies targeting ventilation-induced lung injury have consistently proven beneficial, and despite these gains, ARDS morbidity and mortality remain high. Many candidate therapies with promise in preclinical studies have been ineffective in human trials, probably at least in part due to clinical and biological heterogeneity that modifies treatment responsiveness in human ARDS. A precision medicine approach to ARDS seeks to better account for this heterogeneity by matching therapies to subgroups of patients that are anticipated to be most likely to benefit, which initially might be identified in part by assessing for heterogeneity of treatment effect in clinical trials. In October 2019, the US National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute convened a workshop of multidisciplinary experts to explore research opportunities and challenges for accelerating precision medicine in ARDS. Topics of discussion included the rationale and challenges for a precision medicine approach in ARDS, the roles of preclinical ARDS models in precision medicine, essential features of cohort studies to advance precision medicine, and novel approaches to clinical trials to support development and validation of a precision medicine strategy. In this Position Paper, we summarise workshop discussions, recommendations, and unresolved questions for advancing precision medicine in ARDS. Although the workshop took place before the COVID-19 pandemic began, the pandemic has highlighted the urgent need for precision therapies for ARDS as the global scientific community grapples with many of the key concepts, innovations, and challenges discussed at this workshop.

A guide to enteral nutrition in intensive care units: 10 expert tips for the daily practice. Crit Care 2021; 25:424. [PMID: 34906215 PMCID: PMC8669237 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-021-03847-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 55] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2021] [Accepted: 11/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
The preferential use of the oral/enteral route in critically ill patients over gut rest is uniformly recommended and applied. This article provides practical guidance on enteral nutrition in compliance with recent American and European guidelines. Low-dose enteral nutrition can be safely started within 48 h after admission, even during treatment with small or moderate doses of vasopressor agents. A percutaneous access should be used when enteral nutrition is anticipated for ≥ 4 weeks. Energy delivery should not be calculated to match energy expenditure before day 4–7, and the use of energy-dense formulas can be restricted to cases of inability to tolerate full-volume isocaloric enteral nutrition or to patients who require fluid restriction. Low-dose protein (max 0.8 g/kg/day) can be provided during the early phase of critical illness, while a protein target of > 1.2 g/kg/day could be considered during the rehabilitation phase. The occurrence of refeeding syndrome should be assessed by daily measurement of plasma phosphate, and a phosphate drop of 30% should be managed by reduction of enteral feeding rate and high-dose thiamine. Vomiting and increased gastric residual volume may indicate gastric intolerance, while sudden abdominal pain, distension, gastrointestinal paralysis, or rising abdominal pressure may indicate lower gastrointestinal intolerance.

Novel protocol combining physical and nutrition therapies, Intensive Goal-directed REhabilitation with Electrical muscle stimulation and Nutrition (IGREEN) care bundle. Crit Care 2021; 25:415. [PMID: 34863251 PMCID: PMC8645074 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-021-03827-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2021] [Accepted: 11/17/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Although the combination of rehabilitation and nutrition may be important for the prevention of intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired weakness, a protocolized intervention of this combination has not yet been reported. We herein developed an original combined protocol and evaluated its efficacy. Methods In this single-center historical control study, we enrolled adult patients admitted to the ICU. Patients in the control group received standard care, while those in the intervention group received the protocol-based intervention. The ICU mobility scale was used to set goals for early mobilization and a neuromuscular electrical stimulation was employed when patients were unable to stand. The nutritional status was assessed for nutritional therapy, and target calorie delivery was set at 20 or 30 kcal/kg/day and target protein delivery at 1.8 g/kg/day in the intervention group. The primary endpoint was a decrease in femoral muscle volume in 10 days assessed by computed tomography. Results Forty-five patients in the control group and 56 in the intervention group were included in the analysis. Femoral muscle volume loss was significantly lower in the intervention group (11.6 vs 14.5%, p = 0.03). The absolute risk difference was 2.9% (95% CI 0.1–5.6%). Early mobilization to a sitting position by day 10 was achieved earlier (p = 0.03), and mean calorie delivery (20.1 vs. 16.8 kcal/kg/day, p = 0.01) and mean protein delivery (1.4 vs. 0.8 g/kg/day, p < 0.01) were higher in the intervention group. Conclusion The protocolized intervention, combining early mobilization and high-protein nutrition, contributed to the achievement of treatment goals and prevention of femoral muscle volume loss. Trial registration number The present study is registered at the University Hospital Medical Information Network-clinical trials registry (UMIN000040290, Registration date: May 7, 2020).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Critical care survivors face physical, psychological and socio-economic burdens. Peer support is acknowledged as a way individuals can face, accept and overcome the challenges arising from a stressful event. We sought to examine the provision and benefits of peer support to critical care survivors in the UK. METHOD We distributed a survey, devised by the patients and relatives committee of the Intensive Care Society and ICUsteps, to contacts in 163 UK Trusts/hospitals with critical care departments. The benefit to individuals was assessed by seeking the views of attendees of two support groups. RESULTS A response was received from 91 (56%) of the critical care departments. Of these, 46 (48% of respondents) have patient support groups. Our analysis of comments from 30 people is that support groups greatly benefit service users and staff. CONCLUSIONS Attendees of patient support groups gave highly positive comments about the service yet provision of patient support groups in the UK is not universal. RECOMMENDATIONS We make a series of recommendations for consideration by UK health care providers.

Abstract
PURPOSE The primary objective of this scoping review was to identify prominent cognitive impairment sequelae in adult survivors of an intensive care unit admission for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). DESIGN A scoping review was performed. METHODS Search terms were entered into multiple EBSCOhost databases. Articles pertaining to pediatric survivors, not in English, lacking cognitive impairment sequelae, or focused on a single sequela were excluded; 12 articles remained. RESULTS Cognitive impairment developed in 83.5% of patients with ARDS prior to discharge and persisted in 51.3% (n = 300/585) of survivors at the 1 year mark after discharge (range: 16.7%-100% across studies). Prominent sequelae included impairments in executive function, mental processing speed, immediate memory, and attention/concentration. CONCLUSIONS Survivors of an intensive care unit stay for ARDS often develop cognitive impairment persisting long after their admission. Clinicians in rehabilitation facilities should screen for these sequelae and connect survivors with treatment to improve cognitive outcomes. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Early recognition of prominent cognitive impairment sequelae by rehabilitation clinicians and referrals to neuropsychologists by providers are critical to limiting the severity of impairment.
