But yeah, the family, the family are not just on the sideline, they are very much involved and they're very aware of what's going on.
Ever wondered how ICU care can truly evolve? Mark Hudson sits down with Dr. Morgan, an ICU physician from Cardiff, to uncover some eye-opening perspectives. This episode dives into the significance of patient involvement in research and education, shedding light on how these elements can transform post-ICU outcomes. Dr. Morgan shares his thoughts on ICU delirium, a troubling condition that many patients face, and discusses practical ways to mitigate its impact.
The conversation also highlights the importance of humanizing ICU care, with simple yet profound actions like writing notes to patients instead of just about them. Books play a surprising role in this dialogue too. Dr. Morgan talks about his book 'Critical' and how literature by ICU professionals and patients can demystify the ICU experience, making it more accessible and understandable for everyone.
The discussion doesn’t shy away from tough topics either; bereavement support for families is scrutinized, revealing gaps in the current system and suggesting better approaches like professional counseling through charities such as 'Wish Upon A Star'. This episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone connected to the ICU world—whether you're a healthcare worker, a patient, or a family member.
It’s a candid exploration of how small changes can lead to big improvements in ICU care, emphasizing the power of empathy and involvement.
