Summary

Intensive care unit (ICU) survivors and their families frequently present mental, cognitive and physical impairments lasting years. The ongoing pandemic could affect the duration, variety, and severity of these impairments. Our aim is to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the physical, mental, and cognitive health of survivors, the experience of their families and their treating healthcare professionals in the long-term. This is a prospective, multicentre, mixed-methods cohort study in seven Chilean ICUs. The perceptions of family members regarding the ICU stay and the later recovery will be explored 3 months after discharge. Health care professionals will be invited to discuss the challenges faced during the pandemic using semi-structured interviews.

Conditions

• Covid19
• Critical Care
• Postintensive Care Syndrome

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Intensive care unit stay during the COVID-19 pandemic	Patients will be screened daily for a potential ICU discharge. Each site coordinator, which is a clinician physiotherapist responsible for the site, will check that the patient is delirium-free (CAM-ICU negative) and cooperative (i.e. using 5 standardised questions: open \[close\] your eyes; look at me; open your mouth and stick out your tongue; nod your head; raise your eyebrows when I have counted up to five) within 72 hours from ICU discharge. Every patient deemed eligible will be invited to participate through a face-to-face visit by the assigned evaluator, receiving verbal and written information about the study
