The ICU is one of the most remarkable advances in modern medicine, keeping alive those who otherwise would
\nnot have survived and turning around some of the worst epidemiological trajectories as these patients suffer
\nfrom major trauma\/sepsis\/respiratory failure\/catastrophic neurological emergencies\/cardiovascular
\ninstability\/multiple organ dysfunction. Over the course of a few decades, advances in critical care have led to
\nsignificant improvements in survival. But as so many patients survive serious illness, clinicians are dealing
\nincreasingly with the long-standing physical, psychological and functional impacts of intensive care. ICUAW
\nhas recently come to be recognized as one of the commonest yet underappreciated complications occurring in
\nICU patients, which can have a profound impact on subsequent patient recovery and quality of life as well
\nhealthcare outcomes. ICUAW, which encompasses critical illness polyneuropathy and\/or myopathy (CIP\/CIM),
\nis characterized by prolonged mechanical ventilation, difficult rehabilitation, increased morbidity and long-term
\ndisability.
\nThe implications of ICUAW go well beyond weakness of the muscle. This process needs a multidimensional
\nmethod, which includes critical care physician physiotherapists rehabilitation specialist nurses occupational
\ntherapists nutritionist respiratory therapist psychologists speech language pathologist. Management can compile
\nfrom early identification, prophylactic measures, evidence-guided rehabilitation & nutrition optimization
\nstrategies as well mobilization protocols and systematic post-ICU follow up. In the context of an evolving
\nhealthcare paradigm towards more patient-centered and outcome-driven care, preventing as well as treating
\nICUAW now represents a vital component in critical illness management strategies.
\nManagement of ICU-Acquired Weakness (ICUAW) is the first book specifically designed to be an all-in-one,
\nup-to-date UK evidence-based clinical and practice toolbox for students, clinicians, educators and researchers.
\nIt provides a structured, clinically relevant presentation of the findings available in published literature to fill the
\ngap between basic science and real clinical practice related to ICUAW. In the book, chapters cover:
\nepidemiology; pathophysiology; risk factors and clinical presentation; diagnosis prevention strategies
\nrehabilitation principles nutritional support respiratory management pharmacological considerations
\npsychological aspects long-term outcomes emerging technologies shaping future of ICU rehabilitation.
\nInterdisciplinary work, early intervention has been given due importance In the ensuing review, we explore both
\nestablished clinical practices and novel ideas (the ABCDEF bundle; early mobilization; neuromuscular
\nmonitoring; point-of-care ultrasound for muscle assessment and biomarkers), as well as cutting-edge approaches
\n(digital rehabilitation, wearable technologies, artificial intelligence-assisted longitudinal patient-centered
\noutcome measurements via remote tracking with tele-rehabilitation). These developments indicate the
\nchallenges associated with critical care medicine and are promising strategies to help patients achieve recovery
\nwhile reducing long-term disability.
\nThis book brings together scientific evidence, clinical guidelines on practical management concepts and methods
\nin saturation with illustrative case studies including rehabilitation protocols, tables of key points for quick
\nreference as well as flow charts that help identify problem at a given time point so readers are supplied readily
\navailable tools to use daily in their profession. Regardless of whether you are caring for patients in the ICU,
\nstep-down units, rehabilitation centers or outpatient clinics \u2014 healthcare professionals will learn something that
\ncan lead to improved outcomes along the continuum.
\nCAN: This book is written for a general readership such as medical students at both the undergraduate and
\npostgraduate level, residents in critical care medicine, anesthesiology, neurology and rehabilitation medicine;
\nphysiotherapy students; physiotherapists working with intensive care patients (i.e., ICU\/intermediate unit specific); expert support from other health professionals like those specializing in critical nursing or respiratory
\ntherapy\/medicine; nutrition specialists whose primary area of expertise involves critically ill patients\/researchers
\nreviewing physical activity topics relevant to their profession\/pathophysiological studies\/faculty members
\nresponsible for teaching courses related specifically to acute\/chronic diseases affecting human functionality
\nrecovery Strategies We also hope it is helpful for policymakers and hospital administrators interested in
\ndeveloping a comprehensive ICU rehabilitation program.
\nDespite significant progress in understanding ICUAW, many questions regarding its complex mechanisms,
\noptimal prevention strategies and individualized rehabilitation or long-term recovery remain unanswered. Future
\nmanagement of this difficult condition will no doubt continue to be driven by further research and innovation,
\nas well as collaborative clinical practice. We hope that this book serves as a prompt for further exploration,
\nfacilitates evidence-based practice and ultimately enhances the experience of survivor rehabilitation from critical
\nillness by optimising functional recovery and quality of life.
\nA heartfelt thanks to all the health workers who give their heart for critical ill patients. They are dedicated,
\ncaring, knowledgeable and tireless professionals who have provided inspiration in the improvement of care for
\nindividuals with critical illness as well as rehabilitation. We continue to be equally thankful for researchers
\nwhose scientific investigations have broadened our knowledge of ICU-acquired weakness and guide clinical
\npractice far beyond the walls of this institution.
\nAnd finally, I would like to dedicate this book to the patients and their families whose fortitude throughout the
\nups-and-downs of critical illness proves that survival is just starting point but recovery where success should be
\nmeasured. We trust that this work will be a valuable tool in promoting excellence around the prevention,
\nmanagement and rehabilitation of ICU-Acquired Weakness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8257,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"authors":[],"publishers":[],"product_cat":[207],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-8256","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","5":"hentry","6":"product_cat-academic","7":"entry","8":"has-media","10":"owp-thumbs-layout-horizontal","11":"owp-btn-normal","12":"owp-tabs-layout-horizontal","13":"has-no-thumbnails"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jecpublication.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/8256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jecpublication.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jecpublication.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jecpublication.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8256"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jecpublication.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jecpublication.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"authors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jecpublication.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/authors?post=8256"},{"taxonomy":"publishers","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jecpublication.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publishers?post=8256"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jecpublication.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=8256"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jecpublication.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=8256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
