Abstract
Background
To focus on the importance and the effectiveness of physical, as well as, psychological rehabilitation initiated after ICU discharge, for functional exercise capacity, and health-related quality of life in adult ICU survivors.
Conclusions
Millions of patients develop critical conditions that require ICU admission each year. ICU survivors, particularly those who require prolonged mechanical ventilation, experience high mortality. Compromises in physical, psychological, and/or cognitive function are common.
In the absence of active recovery programs, patients often fail to recover optimally and may experience accelerated decline with far reaching effects for them, their families, and public health at large.
