Psychiatric Problems in Patients Who Survive Critical Illnesses
By Joseph O. Bienvenu, MD, PhD and Dale M. Needham, MD, PhD | PsychiatricTimes.com | December 17, 2012 - Few psychiatrists know about the phenomena involving delusional and hallucinatory experiences of patients who survive critical illnesses. Often patients come out of the ICU with horrifying memories (of being tortured, raped, assaulted, or imprisoned) and don't know what happened to them. Not only are the patients debilitated by the physical illness, they are traumatized by the false memories resulting from delirium.
Drs. Bienvenu and Needham discuss the effects of critical illness and the need for collaborative interventions in the ICU that will improve long-term patient outcomes.
