“What if a simple electrical pulse or a gentle compression could keep ICU patients from losing precious muscle strength?”
Hi, I’m your Occupational Therapist, Hao, and on this episode of Occupational Therapy Conversations, we’re venturing into the high-stakes world of critical care, where ventilators breathe, ECMO oxygenates, and groundbreaking adaptive aids are rewriting the rehab playbook.
Join me as we uncover:
- How devices like VADs and dialysis machines buy organs time to heal
- The untapped frontier of muscle-preservation tech that could slash post-ICU weakness
- Why early, proactive stimulation may be the key to defeating post-intensive-care syndrome
If you’re an OT, nurse, physio—or just fascinated by the future of healing—this is one conversation you don’t want to miss.
