Support after intensive care: a recovery program for ICU survivors
This study tests a program to help people who have been in the intensive care unit (ICU) and are going home. It aims to improve recovery from physical, thinking, or mental health problems that can happen after a serious illness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were on a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 48 hours during your ICU stay.
