So, Brian, you have the floor.

Post-intensive care syndrome, for those who don't know, is a new or worsening physical, cognitive, and mental health impairments after somebody has been in the ICU for a period of time.

And these issues persist for months to years and sometimes never fully go away for many critical illness survivors.
1:35
I think it's very important that those who are going to be caring for these survivors long term understand that this is a reality and it's these people need help.

They feel very isolated.

Just those who have participated in my research have shared that they just feel so isolated and they wish somebody would acknowledge what they're going through.
1:56
And we know that timely care helps to curb many issues.
