Surviving the ICU: Minimizing Delirium and Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS)

Surviving the ICU: Minimizing Delirium and Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) This vital and insightful webinar addressing one of the most challenging aspects of critical care: the prevention and management of delirium and Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS). This webinar features Dr. Wes Ely, a leading critical care pulmonologist and the author of the acclaimed book "Every Deep-Drawn Breath." Dr. Ely’s work is a powerful exploration of the human side of critical care, blending science, history, and deeply moving patient stories. His mission is clear: to prevent the unintentional harm that outdated sedation practices can cause to patients in the ICU. As Co-Director of The Critical Illness, Brain Dysfunction, and Survivorship (CIBS) Center at Vanderbilt University, Dr. Ely has revolutionized how we approach ICU care. Also speaking will be Bill Cantrell, a seasoned Emergency and Critical Care Registered Nurse with a unique dual perspective as both a healthcare provider and an ICU survivor. His experiences offer a compelling narrative on the realities of ICU care from both sides of the bedrail. Joining them is Kali Dayton, Doctor of Nursing Practice, who specializes in guiding ICU teams in implementing evidence-based care bundles designed to prevent delirium and PICS, through mastering the ABCDEF Bundle to create Awake and Walking ICUs. This webinar is a must-attend for patients, families, and healthcare professionals dedicated to advancing ICU care and improving patient recovery. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from leaders in the field who are reshaping the landscape of critical care.
