Introduction
• Critical Care – evolving……
![Page 3: Critical Care Follow Up Clinics Are they effective?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568161ab550346895dd1666b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Introduction
• ICU patients - sickest + need the most support
• Many survivors experience a range of physical and psychological problems
![Page 4: Critical Care Follow Up Clinics Are they effective?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568161ab550346895dd1666b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Introduction
• Problems don’t stop at the point of discharge
• Problems often complex and not easily suited to current follow up systems
• Problems are often not recognised or treated.
• Patients can easily be “lost” in a sometimes hectic system
![Page 5: Critical Care Follow Up Clinics Are they effective?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568161ab550346895dd1666b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Introduction
• Nice guideline 83 – suggests that rehabilitation strategies for these
patients could offer many benefits…• reducing length of hospital stay post ICU• reduce readmission rates• reducing use of primary care resources • expedite patients return to their previous level of
activity.
![Page 6: Critical Care Follow Up Clinics Are they effective?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568161ab550346895dd1666b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Introduction
• A Critical Care Follow Up clinic introduced in Morriston Hospital, in an attempt to address some of these issues.
![Page 7: Critical Care Follow Up Clinics Are they effective?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568161ab550346895dd1666b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Clinic
• Critical Care Consultant, Band 7 nurse, Physiotherapist
• Dedicated secretarial support• Approx. 4 patients seen / clinic / fortnightly• Patient selection – “very loose”• 45 minutes / patient• Not funded• No formal Out Patient facilities / support
![Page 8: Critical Care Follow Up Clinics Are they effective?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568161ab550346895dd1666b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Aim of Clinic
• Holistically review / investigate and manage needs and problems– Co-ordinate Care– Establish suitability for physiotherapy based
rehabilitation (and RCT) – Give advice e.g. smoking cessation, weight loss– Discuss the patients recollections and experiences – Enquire about family experiences
• Ask for informal feedback
![Page 9: Critical Care Follow Up Clinics Are they effective?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568161ab550346895dd1666b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Study - Aims
• Determine – “effectiveness” of the clinic - numbers and types of
interventions / patients seen– Relationship between LOS and no. of interventions– Relationship between Level of Care and no. of
interventions– Relationship between original problem and no. of
interventions– Which patient groups benefit most?

Methods
• 1 years activity reviewed - Jan 2011 – Jan 2012• Length of time from discharge to clinic appt. • The “type” of patient + their original level of
care• Their length of stay on ICU• The number of interventions made in clinic• Which patients received the most interventions

LOS and Number of Interventions
• Regression analysis - a slight positive association with increasing length of stay and increasing number of interventions.
• R square 0.07 / P = 0.046

What’s everybody else in Wales doing?
![Page 32: Critical Care Follow Up Clinics Are they effective?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568161ab550346895dd1666b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What’s everybody else in Wales doing?
• ICU’s across Wales were contacted
![Page 33: Critical Care Follow Up Clinics Are they effective?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568161ab550346895dd1666b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
What’s everybody else in Wales doing?• 4/16 – Critical Care Follow up clinics
• Glan Clwyd - nurse led service - patients invited back to the unit
• Nevill Hall – nurse led and diary based
• Wrexham Maelor – medical + nursing led clinic
• Princess Of Wales - cancelled clinic - lack of funding.
![Page 34: Critical Care Follow Up Clinics Are they effective?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568161ab550346895dd1666b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What’s everybody else in Wales doing?
• Limited and varied ICU Follow Up services
• No funding.
![Page 35: Critical Care Follow Up Clinics Are they effective?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568161ab550346895dd1666b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Summary
• Help co-ordinate care
• Majority required at least 1 intervention and often more
• Patients with longer LOS, who were Level 3 and respiratory appear to benefit most
![Page 36: Critical Care Follow Up Clinics Are they effective?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568161ab550346895dd1666b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Conclusions
• ICU Follow Up Clinics appear to be beneficial
• But…..varied and limited in Wales with no funding.
