Abstract
Care for patients in the intensive care units (ICUs) has improved considerably over the years. Advances in medical therapy have led to better survival at discharge from ICU. However, survivors of critical illness are left with significant morbidities which require prolonged physical therapy and rehabilitation. Early rehabilitation is vital for improving quality of life and reducing secondary impairments seen in patients admitted to the ICU. This article highlights the need for a multidisciplinary approach to rehabilitating patients admitted to the ICU.
