Incorporating patients routine/sleep patterns with ICU routine

Awesome presentation by @TantamKate

Taking a patient outside resets their day/night cycle.
It removes them from the same environment and gives them a sense of reality, of time and of location.

Being outdoors and fresh air is so important 🙏🏼

Every fourth ICU nurse has the intention to leave, according to a meta-analysis incl 23,140 nurses from 23 countries in 18 studies (2007-2020), even higher in younger nurses.
Authors recommend social support, better working conditions, and evaluations

The bored board is coming together nicely for the critical care unit. We often hear patients are bored and could we help. #remedialactivities #OT #simplethings #colourful #rcht

3/for the #A2Fbundle I spoke of the need for less sedation & early mobilization, I spoke about my #delirium. I said how critical #rehab is, I spoke about the importance of having #Family participating, and I told them about my PICS & how real it is. I told them my Mom has it too

We all know we should take better care of ourselves, but do we understand the psychological mechanisms behind it?

Join tomorrow's ICU Protect session, created by @DrJulie_H and supported by @CHSA_org to learn how to better manage your stress at work.

If you want to fully appreciate #PICS as a new disease process that involves both organic and iatrogenic events, read this paper! And never forget that “It is the entire body, mind, and spirit of the person involved that are affected by the illness”: https://t.co/FpcG6ry2l6

Do you think survival is enough?

A #RehabLegend said to me today :

"it took bravery to survive, now it's taking bravery to live"

I think many #ICU survivors could relate to this.
