AbstractPatients and their relatives may feel unsupported in general wards and the community after the high level of care received in ICUs. Some general nurses may not have enough experience to deal with the high-dependency needs of patients discharged from ICUs to ward care. It is recommended that a follow-up nurse assess the needs of ICU patients and ensure provision has been made for their return to the community.
