Abstract

Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) occurs in over half of critically ill patients who survive treatment in the ICU. This condition consists of 3 groups of impairments: 1) physical impairments, 2) cognitive impairments, and 3) mental health impairments. PICS leads to increased disability and mortality. This article aims to present the pathophysiology, risk factors, assessment, and prevention of PICS through ABCDEF Bundle care. Nurses can apply knowledge from this review in caring for ICU patients to prevent PICS.
