Danesh-2024-CHEST Critical Care.pdfLong-Term Outcomes After Critical Illness
A natural extension of my work into the recovery and rehabilitation period is examining health care delivery and epidemiology after critical illness, and the development of models of care to support patients and families after critical illness with and without COVID-19. I pilot tested a critical illness survivor peer-delivered motivational interviewing intervention, with full-scale intervention development proposed. Critical illness survivors often experience ICU-acquired cognitive decline. My program of research includes driving safety and decision-making assessments tailored to these vulnerabilities in the post-hospital discharge period.
