Abstract
Post-intensive care unit (ICU) syndrome including decreased physical function, cognitive decline, and mental problems may occur after intensive care unit treatment. It is an independent predictor of mortality and associated with a longer duration of mechanical ventilation and hospital stay. In the ICU, everyday interruption of sedation, and encouraging spontaneous breathing trial can be done, and patients are selected for early mobilization and rehabilitation according to inclusion criteria. ICU rehabilitation is safe, feasible, and carried out through a team approach of ICU physicians, rehabilitation doctors, physical therapists, and nurses.
