Abstract
Critical illness is a family crisis. Family distress in response to critical illness does not disappear after intensive care unit (ICU) discharge. Ongoing anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are commonly occurring complications in ICU survivors and their families, which have been identified as Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS).
