COVID-19 Insights: Elderly Care and Post-ICU Challenges
“We like to believe the opposite of addiction is actually connection and we are going to attempt to educate you and possibly even entertain you while we navigate all topics.”
Ever wondered how COVID-19 affects the elderly and those recovering from intensive care? In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection', Drs. Heather Bell and Kurt DeVine shift their focus from addiction to the pressing issues surrounding the pandemic. They bring in two medical experts to shed light on critical aspects of COVID-19 care. First, Jerica Berge from the University of Minnesota delves into the ASPREE study, examining the use of aspirin in elderly patients and its implications during the pandemic.
Next, Dr. Roeder from M Health Fairview discusses Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS), a condition affecting many who have spent time in the ICU due to severe COVID-19 symptoms. This episode is packed with valuable information on managing post-acute issues and understanding persistent symptoms that linger long after the initial infection. With their usual blend of expertise and engaging conversation, Drs. Bell and DeVine offer a must-listen episode for anyone looking to understand more about COVID-19's long-term impacts.
