OverviewPatients often find themselves spending time in the intensive care unit without expecting to, whether due to complications after elective surgery, or after a road traffic accident. The experience of all patients on the ICU can be traumatic, and the recovery process may present serious physical, psychological, and social problems for both patients and their families, which may last for months or years. This work is a guide to detailed follow up and focused care of patients following a stay on the intensive care unit. It covers the longer term residual effects of critical illness, including disability, functionality and specific disorders and problems. It includes practical information on running an aftercare programme, including where, when, how, and who. It focuses not only on the patient but also on the needs of the relatives.
