PICU Liberation (Pediatrics)

PICU Liberation reflects bundled clinical standard work for provision of usual care to critically ill patients. Implementation of the ICU Liberation Bundle (A-F) facilitates patients who are more awake and physically and psychosocially active. Successful implementation of PICU Liberation requires multiprofessional commitment and use of quality improvement, dissemination, and changing leadership tools to adapt the unit's strategy to unit-specific resources, personnel, and capabilities. This session was presented at SCCM's 2023 Critical Care Congress.
