Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this interventional trial is to learn about whether a virtual clinic can help patients with post-intensive care unit syndrome regain functional ability. Participants will participate in a 12-month online clinic where they will receive physiotherapy, nutritional planning, mental health support and cognitive strengthening. Functional capacity will be measured throughout the clinic. After, they will be asked questions about their clinic experience, and complete a questionnaire.
Detailed Description
Virtual Care to Improve Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (V-PICS) is a multidisciplinary virtual clinic designed to address the three components of post-intensive care syndrome (PICS): physical impairment, cognitive decline and mental health challenges. This initiative targets ICU survivors who received mechanical ventilation for a minimum of 48 hours. Referred patients will access live sessions with healthcare professionals who will guide at-home strategies to address PICS including physiotherapy, nutritional planning, mental health support and cognitive strengthening. The clinic will provide an integrated approach to addressing the challenges faced by ICU survivors. The feasibility of this virtual clinic will be assessed by measuring patient satisfaction, clinic effectiveness and levels of engagement and attendance. The study's findings will inform the creation of a robust multi-centre clinical trial that will contribute to the creation of a national standard of PICS care and increase health system efficiencies.
