“…Spirometry may be conducted in individuals with respiratory muscle weakness or persistent lung impairments following ICU admission to evaluate pulmonary function. In some cases, neuroimaging (i.e., CT, MRI) may be utilized to assess structural abnormalities or identify brainrelated pathologies associated with PICS, such as stroke or brain atrophy [42,43].…”

Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) is a complex and multifaceted condition that affects a significant proportion of patients who have survived critical illness and received intensive care. The prevalence of PICS is substantial and has been reported to range from 30% to 80% of ICU survivors. PICS has been associated with increased mortality, hospital readmissions, and healthcare utilization, emphasizing the need for comprehensive post-ICU follow-up care. There is a multitude of risk factors that predispose an individual to develop PICS. However, the educational level has been proven protective against developing the condition. Clinical presentation of PICS includes physical impairments, cognitive deficits, and psychological conditions, with some symptoms lasting from months to years post-recovery. The diagnosis is primarily clinical and requires an interdisciplinary medical team to tailor the diagnostic approach and a global health assessment. PICS multidisciplinary team involves critical care physicians, rehabilitation specialists, mental health professionals, and social support networks. Since no treatment is entirely adequate, controlling the underlying cause and prevention is the most used strategy. A multidimensional approach of the "ABCDEF" bundle is recommended for preventing PICS alongside other non-pharmacological practices. Early mobilization, delirium prevention, and tailored rehabilitation programs have shown promising outcomes for these patients. The long-term prognosis of PICS varies extensively and depends on numerous individual factors, including overall health, pre-existing conditions, age, and access to follow-up care. It is also possible to have a recurrence of symptoms after initial recovery, particularly during physical or emotional stress periods. The recovery rates for PICS depend on multiple factors, and the recovery process is usually gradual. Long-term consequences of the syndrome extend beyond the physical, cognitive, and psychological domains. Increased public awareness about PICS is essential to diagnose the condition early before it progresses. This article provides a comprehensive overview of PICS encompassing its characteristics, epidemiology, risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnosis, prevention, management, and prognosis. Further research is needed to refine risk stratification, optimize interventions, and develop novel approaches to mitigate the burden of PICS.
