Description

Why is ICU-acquired weakness an independent predictor of mortality? What role does muscular atrophy play in multi-organ failure? When we unnecessarily sacrifice muscles for other organs, how badly do we damage patients’ chances to survive and thrive? Jereon Molinger, MSc, brings eye-opening information to the discussion.

Kali Dayton, DNP, ACNP-BC, is an ICU nurse practitioner and ICU consultant. She hands the microphone to ICU survivors and bedside caregivers to reveal the realities of ICU experience and patients' journeys after discharge. The big picture of sedation and immobility is discussed and we explore how to improve short and long-term patient outcomes. We shift the vision from transferring out of the ICU to walking straight home after the ICU. www.DaytonICUconsulting.com Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/restoringlife/support
