Long term & technology dependent #pedsICU patients
Description
Long term & technology dependent aka "chronic critically ill" #pedsICU patients with Dr Rob Graham @BostonChildrens @karen_choong @drgregkelly @drpetaalexander
Our #ICUrehab season focussed on preventing PICU morbidities & improving recovery. Our successes in #pedsICU mean that most kids survive & we increasingly see survivors with chronic complex conditions, either in ICU or frequently readmitted. They are still a relatively small population but use a huge proportion of our bed days and are a population with unique risks & needs. Dr Rob Graham established the home ventilation program at Boston Children's and has deep expertise on these patients.
