80061032 - 12th Annual Johns Hopkins Critical Care Rehabilitation

Wednesday, November 8, 2023, 7:30 AM - Saturday, November 11, 2023, 5:30 PM, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Turner Auditorium, Baltimore, MD


Interdisciplinary collaboration and coordination is vital to facilitate early mobility and rehabilitation in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting. A multi-disciplinary stakeholder meeting aimed at improving long-term outcomes for ICU survivors identified important ‘silos’ among critical care and rehabilitation clinicians working in the ICU, with these ‘silos’ acting as a barrier to collaboratively advancing the field and improving patient outcomes. Implementing ICU rehabilitation requires creation of an ICU culture based on proactive rehabilitation and interdisciplinary collaboration between all critical care and rehabilitation clinicians.

1. Appraise the evidence supporting early rehabilitation and mobility in critically ill adults and children.
2. Describe and discuss how to change ICU clinical practice to implement early rehabilitation programs.
3. Describe the management of ICU medications, devices (including mechanical ventilation and tracheostomy), and monitoring systems for rehabilitation of adult and pediatric ICU patients.
4. Explain rehabilitation related assessments and interventions suitable for adult and pediatric ICU and acute care patients.
5. Describe strategies to engage critically ill patients and their families for activity and mobility, including communication and psychology-based strategies.
6. Describe the impact and challenges of ICU survivorship on patients and their families, including Post-Intensive Care Syndrome and care delivery in post-ICU critical care settings.
7. Explain current practice and interdisciplinary roles of nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech language pathology, respiratory therapy, and child life specialists in an adult and pediatric ICU rehabilitation program.
8. Describe disease-specific rehabilitation strategies for critically ill patients.
9. Describe the management of sedation and delirium for adult and pediatric patients to promote ICU mobility.
