    AbstractThe number of intensive care unit (ICU) survivors continues to grow, largely due to the emergence of more sophisticated treatment options. Yet despite this remarkable life-saving progress, far too little attention is paid to the survivor's long-term quality of life after discharge. Post-Intensive Care Syndrome continues to impact many survivors' physical, cognitive, and mental health, as well as their social functioning related to these new impairments. In light of this knowledge, there is room to enhance compassionate care, both in and after the ICU, starting with improved collaboration with the patient, their caregivers, and other providers on the patient's care team.Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
