Surviving the pediatric intensive care unit
This study looks at how children and their healthy siblings cope after a stay in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It may help doctors and families better understand what support is needed during recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study follows people who have stayed in an intensive care unit (ICU) to understand long-term effects of ICU treatment. It may help improve future care plans by identifying problems that last after leaving the ICU.
This study looks at how your financial and social situation might affect your recovery after a serious ICU illness. You and one close family member or friend will fill out questionnaires to help doctors better understand long-term challenges for ICU survivors.
This study looks at whether certain molecules in the blood (metabolic signatures) are linked to how well people recover physically after a serious illness requiring intensive care. By understanding these links, doctors might be able to better predict and support recovery.
This study tests a structured clinic visit to help ICU survivors manage medications safely after leaving the hospital. It may reduce the risk of harmful drug effects and improve recovery.
This study looks at how people recover after being on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit (ICU). The researchers want to understand if social and economic factors affect recovery, which may help improve support for patients after they leave the hospital.
This study looks at whether a special rehabilitation program in a step-down unit (HDU) can help people recover from post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). If you have PICS and are moving from the ICU to a step-down unit, the program may improve your recovery.
