Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) describes a collection of health disorders that are common among patients who survive critical illness and intensive care. [1] Generally, PICS is considered distinct from the impairments experienced by those who survive critical illness and intensive care following traumatic brain injury and stroke .
Long COVID may not be a single disease or syndrome. It could be an umbrella term including permanent organ damage, post-intensive care syndrome, post-viral fatigue syndrome and post-COVID syndrome. [2] Long COVID has been referred to by the scientific community as "Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC)". [15]
Post-acute infection syndromes (PAISs) or post-infectious syndromes are medical conditions characterized by symptoms attributed to a prior infection. While it is commonly assumed that people either recover or die from infections, long-term symptoms—or sequelae —are a possible outcome as well. [ 1 ]
APACHE II ("Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II") is a severity-of-disease classification system, [1] one of several ICU scoring systems.It is applied within 24 hours of admission of a patient to an intensive care unit (ICU): an integer score from 0 to 71 is computed based on several measurements; higher scores correspond to more severe disease and a higher risk of death.
[1] [2] The causes of CIP and CIM are unknown, though they are thought to be a possible neurological manifestation of systemic inflammatory response syndrome. [3] Corticosteroids and neuromuscular blocking agents , which are widely used in intensive care, may contribute to the development of CIP and CIM, [ 4 ] as may elevations in blood sugar ...
The Philippine healthcare system, a blend of public and private sectors, faces challenges in providing equitable and comprehensive care. Historically rooted in traditional medicine and shaped by colonial influences, the system now navigates a landscape where private providers shoulder much of the burden, with costs borne by the state or patients.

This peer-reviewed journal is devoted to issues affecting the care and treatment of people with mental disorders who manifest severely disturbed mental or behavioural functioning. The journal is international and multi-disciplinary in its approach.
Research on PCAS benefits from disease-specific work as well as general improvements in critical care treatments. As of 2022, [37] research on PCAS includes, non-exclusively, work on early resolution of ischemia through pre-hospital extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, [38] and wide distribution of defibrillators and CPR-trained bystanders ...
