Lebensqualität nach Intensivmedizin

Kernaussagen

• Nach Intensivtherapie ist die Mortalität hoch.

• Viele der überlebenden Patienten haben eine Einschränkung ihrer körperlichen Leistungsfähigkeit. Ursache dieser Einschränkung ist oft eine Intensivpolyneuropathie oder -myopathie.

• Viele Patienten hatten eine körperliche Einschränkung aber schon vor der Intensivtherapie.

• Eine Verbesserung der körperlichen Leistungsfähigkeit nach Intensivtherapie kann Jahre dauern.

• Bei vielen Patienten kann nach längerer Intensivtherapie aber eine gute Lebensqualität erreicht werden.

• Auch in höherem Alter ist noch eine ausreichende Lebensqualität nach Intensivtherapie möglich.

• Die meisten der befragten Langzeitintensivpatienten würden für sich, falls erforderlich, wieder einer Intensivtherapie unterziehen.

• Die Sicht der Ärzte und Pflegekräfte in Bezug auf eine noch lebenswerte Lebensqualität kann sich von der Sicht der betroffenen Patienten erheblich unterscheiden.
