Summary

Key Learning Points

  1. 1. Long-term physical and non-physical sequelae following critical care illness in patients are increasingly recognised.

  2. 2. Sequelae may include changes in cognition, psychology and physical well-being.

  3. 3. Meticulous attention to the ‘ABCDEF care bundle’ can help improve long-term function.

  4. 4. Individualised rehabilitation programmes should be developed for patients at risk of morbidity.

  5. 5. Services must be provided to support critical care patients beyond their acute admission.
