Abstract

I am an intensive care physiotherapist focused on the longer term outcome of intensive care on survivors & their caregivers. International reports suggest that these patients & their caregivers may be adversely affected. No such research has been carried out in Australia & I intend to follow up this group at 5 years post intensive care to investigate the impact intensive care may have on their quality of life and function.
