A Study of the Frequency and Severity of Emotional and Cognitive Symptoms Following ICU Care

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to measure the frequency and severity of posttraumatic stress symptoms, depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and cognitive impairment following dismissal from the ICU and three months later. This study also seeks to identify which of the multiple ICUs at Mayo Clinic yields the highest incidence of post-intensive care syndrome so that a future study designed to provide a therapeutic intervention can be implemented in those areas with the greatest potential.
