An essential guide for your journey to recovery from serious illness Millions of patients are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) each year, with a third of them receiving a ventilator to help them breathe. These critically ill patients may develop health problems related to illness, injury, ventilator use, or other medical problems. These problems may persist even after the patient leaves the hospital. LANGE: ICU Publication: A multidisciplinary view of supporting survivors of critical illness leads to a gap in the existing literature on the topic.
