CCP Podcast 013: Mind and Body

Psychological well being, health related quality of life and memories of intensive care and a specialised weaning centre reported by survivors of prolonged mechanical ventilation.

The lead author of this paper Louise Rose very kindly agreed to discuss this article and some of the issues it raises with me via Skype. Louise is clearly a very knowledgeable and experienced practitioner in this field of rehabilitation in ITU and some of the insights she gives us are priceless. I really enjoyed this interview and I think you will too.
