ICU Discharge Planning in the ICU
摘要
Intensive care unit (ICU) discharge planning is a critical component of patient care that ensures a smooth and safe transition from the ICU to a general ward or home. Effective discharge planning minimizes complications, reduces readmission risks, and enhances long-term outcomes. This multifaceted process involves assessing both clinical and psychological readiness, enhancing communication strategies, and providing post-discharge support. A patient-centered approach, coupled with a multidisciplinary effort, is essential for optimizing recovery and ensuring continuity of care [1, 2] [Ref: Algorithm 105.1].
