AfterICU

We believe that the best way we can help the 5,000,0000+ people who will have an ICU experience in 2017 and the medical professionals that will treat them, is to share all available documentation and information about the definition, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, evaluation, treatment, and outcomes for patients with PICS and family members with PICS-F.​

​Advances in critical care medicine have resulted in a growing population of survivors of critical illness. Many survivors experience impairment in cognition, mental health, and physical function, known as PICS. The mental health of family members, caregivers, and even friends may also be adversely affected, the term used for this is PICS-Family or PICS-F.

One goal of the AftertheICU team is to develop an online library of most of the online documentation and information regarding PICS and PICS-F. In the medical community, both in the United States and around the world.​We hope our website becomes a "go-to" resource for those in the medical community who are interested in learning about PICS and PICS-F as well as ICU patients and their families.​
