CCP Podcast 104- Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS)
What happens to our patients after they leave the ICU? ICU patients are more complex even after discharge. They have a lot of post-discharge needs that make them unique and not every primary care provider is equipped to deal with them.
That's why a number of centers are starting to develop ICU recovery clinics that see patients after they are discharged.
Today on the podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Ashley Montgomery-Yates, an attending physician in the Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine division at the University of Kentucky and director of UK's ICU Recovery Clinic.
