Benefits and harms of early rehabilitation

Authors: Brian H. Cuthbertson, Shannon Goddard

Published in: Intensive Care Medicine | Issue 12/2017

Excerpt

The physical, psychological and cognitive morbidities occurring after critical illness are well identified, although they may have been overly attributed to the index critical illness and its treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU) [1‐3]. How to prevent or treat these morbidities is less clear and there is still no clear signal for benefit from interventions commenced in, or after, the intensive care [4‐7]. …
