Posttraumatic stress disorder among survivors of critical illness: creation of a conceptual model addressing identification, prevention, and management

Abstract: Quality of life is frequently impaired among survivors of critical illness, and psychiatric morbidity is an important element contributing to poor quality of life in these patients. Among potential manifestations of psychiatric morbidity following critical illness, symptoms of posttraumatic stress are prevalent and intricately linked to the significant stressors present in the intensive care unit (ICU). As our understanding of the epidemiology of post-ICU PTSD improves, so must our ability to identify those at… Show more

“…IES-R scores can range from 0 (no PTSD-related symptoms) to 88 (severe PTSD-related symptoms) [44]. We used 32 as the cut-off indicating a high risk of PTSD [39,45]. The HADS is valid and reliable [38], easy to administer, and has been successfully used to measure symptoms of anxiety and depression in the general population and in family members of ICU patients [46].…”

“…Therefore, intensive care physicians must try to ensure that after-effects are minimized as far as possible, by constantly weighing the risk-benefit ratio in the intensive care unit (ICU) in terms of future quality of life that can be expected for the patient (1-3). The interpretation of "quality of life" is highly individual, and thus, extremely difficult to define, because it depends on a range of factors such as the patient's age, life course and healthcare pathway before admission (4). A further specificity of intensive care is that most of the time, patients are not capable of expressing themselves, often due to coma (artificial or otherwise), and this precludes any communication and/or consent for care that might reflect their wishes and opinions regarding the initiation of complex intensive care therapies (5).…”

“…Schlecht kontrollierte Schmerzen können nach schwerwiegenden Verletzungen, Verbrennungen oder aber nach großen Operationen vorübergehend, zuweilen auch längerfristig auf Intensivstationen vorliegen und traumatisch wirken [9]. In einer prospektiven Studie wies die Einweisung auf eine chirurgische [24].…”

“…Dieser erhöhte emotionale und kognitive Disstress während einer intensivmedizinischen Behandlung muss aber auch im Hinblick auf das erhöhte Risiko einer beträchtlichen kognitiven und affektiven Morbidität im weiteren poststationären Verlauf als relevant gewertet werden [3,24,26].…”
