The Interrelationship between Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Delirium, Depression, and Dementia: The Potential Long-Term Consequences of COVID-19 Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS)
About 6% of people diagnosed with coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) require intensive care unit (ICU) hospitalization for symptoms such as acute respiratory distress, hypoxia, shock, and multiorgan failure. Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) describes the long-term cognitive, psychological and physical impairments following critical illness. About 50-70% of all ICU survivors experience at least one PICS-related impairment, and effects can persist for as long as 5-15 years after discharge. These symptoms can have a substantial impact on patient quality of life and caregiver burden. It has become an increasingly important phenomenon in older adults as survival rates from intensive care unit (ICU) hospitalizations have increased. In this talk, we will provide an overview of PICS, with an emphasis on symptoms of long-term cognitive impairment and psychiatric complications in older adults. Cognitive impairments after critical illness is observed across a range of cognitive domains including memory, attention and executive function, and can persist for years following critical illness. Depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder are prevalent in the ICU survivor population, and 4-6 times more common compared to the general population. We will review the risk factors for ICU-acquired cognitive impairment and mental health impairments associated with PICS. We will then discuss the importance of preventing, diagnosing and managing these symptoms, and the role of mental health professionals, including psychologists, in managing PICS. Finally, the presentation will conclude by discussing the potential implications for our society with the recent COVID-19 pandemic, and reviewing available interventions and future directions for improved comprehensive treatment of PICS.
Learning Objectives:
By completing this program, participants will able to:
1. describe the long-term cognitive and mental health effects from critical illness
2. describe the potential future directions and promising interventions for post-intensive care syndrome
3. describe the implications of COVID-19 pandemic in terms of critical illness survivorship
4. describe recent research findings about underrepresented groups in COVID-19 and PICS
Presenter: Sophia Wang, M.D. Dr. Sophia Wang is a board-certified geriatric psychiatrist who serves as the Outreach, Recruitment, and Engagement Core Leader for the NIA designated Indiana Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (IADRC). She received her MD at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine at New York City, and also did her psychiatry residency and VA Neurosciences fellowship there. She then went on to University of California San Francisco to complete her clinical geriatric psychiatry fellowship. She is currently funded by a career development award from the NIA, which focuses on the relationship between delirium and dementia in critically ill survivors. Her work with the IADRC focuses on raising public awareness about the prevention and management of Alzheimer’s disease and the importance of participation in Alzheimer’s disease research for underrepresented minorities who are at higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
