Neurorehabilitation across the Continuum: From the Neurocritical care unit to home.
Seminars in Pediatric Neurology 2024 April
Children admitted to neurocritical care units often experience new neurodevelopmental disabilities due to both their acquired neurologic injuries and deconditioning from prolonged hospitalizations. Rehabilitation for critically ill children is multifactorial and begins in the intensive care unit itself. The goals of rehabilitation include prevention of complications associated with immobilization and evolving tone, comprehensive evaluation and treatment of functional deficits, and implementation of adaptive strategies with the goal of maximizing recovery. As a child progresses along the medical continuum from the neurocritical care unit to acute care to post-hospitalization settings, their rehabilitative needs and interventions should also evolve. A child in the neurocritical care unit is likely to have sustained an acquired brain injury. Whether resulting from traumatic or non-traumatic causes, all etiologies of pediatric acquired brain injury can result in significant challenges for the child and their family. Post-intensive care syndrome-pediatrics is a clinical construct that that systematically organizes the range of physical, cognitive, psychological, and social symptoms that emerge in both a child and their family members following a critical illness. Ideally, outpatient care for this population evaluates and supports all areas of post-intensive care syndrome-pediatrics through an interdisciplinary clinical care model. Proactive and comprehensive rehabilitation across the continuum provides the opportunity to support the child and their family in all areas affected, thereby minimizing distress, maximizing function, and optimizing outcomes.
