Condition: PTSD - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder · Sepsis · ICU · Sponsor: Barzilai Medical Center
In recent years, the survival rate among intensive care patients has improved due to advancements in diagnosing severe infections and the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. However, many survivors face long-term complications, known as Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS), including physical, cognitive, and psychological impairments such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. Approximately 9-27% of ICU survivors develop these symptoms, particularly those hospitalized due to sepsis. Common risk factors include traumatic hospital experiences, delirium, and extended mechanical ventilation. Despite the prevalence of these issues, most medical centers lack structured models for screening and early intervention, highlighting the need for evaluations of early intervention strategies to support at-risk patients post-discharge and improve their quality of life.
