Post-Resuscitation Interdisciplinary Consultation System: a Randomized, Multicenter, Interventional Study to Assess Quality of Life After a Stay in the COPRéa Intensive Care Unit

Overview

A patient's stay in the ICU is not without consequences and can cause various physical and/or psychological sequelae such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), physical weakness and memory problems. These sequelae are grouped under the name "post intensive care syndrome" or PICS. Numerous studies have shown that PICS affects 50-70% of patients; however, very few studies have been conducted on the medical and psychological support devices needed for these patients following their hospitalization. Despite recommendations to set up an early and specific rehabilitation program, post-resuscitation consultations are not very frequent in France. The aim of the study is to measure the impact of an interdisciplinary post-resuscitation consultation on the quality of life of patients who have stayed more than 6 days in an intensive care unit. All patients who agreed to participate will be followed for a period of 9 months after discharge from the ICU. One month after discharge from the ICU, the patients will be randomly assigned to * either in the "intervention" group who will benefit from an interdisciplinary post resuscitation consultation 4/5 months after their discharge from the intensive care unit * or in the "control" group without post resuscitation consultation. They will all be contacted at 4/5 and 9 months to complete psychological and quality of life questionnaires.
