ClinConnect Summary

The hospital survival of patients hospitalized after prolonged stay in intensive care unit has improved however there are a loss of functional autonomy and an impaired of peripheral and respiratory muscle performance, what leads to an impairment life's quality. These sequels constitute the Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS). Incomplete understanding of the physiopathological mechanisms that allow the recovery of functional autonomy and the lack of consideration of post-intensive care pathway seems central to explain the contrasting results of therapeutic trials in this syndrome.
