In today's episode, we are going to talk about the intensive care unit, sedation effects, and practices, and the role of physical therapists with Kali Dayton, an acute care nurse practitioner and the host of Walking Home From the ICU Podcast. We talked about the effects of sedation, why it's not as comfortable as we thought it would be for patients. She also discussed the long-term effects of sedation and ICU stay like ICU delirium, ICU Dementia, and PTSD. Lastly, she shed light on the importance of the role of physical therapists in the ICU and why we should ask a seat at the table in the ICU team to advocate for our patients' early mobility.
