Check out our new guideline on Caring for Older Adults in the ICU - now out in #CritCareMed!
Recommendations address geriatric models of care, post-ICU follow-up, MAP targets, & antipsychotics for delirium prevention & treatment. journals.lww.com/ccmjournal/f...
Also to be presented at #SCCM2026
Time at Home matters.
In our study in @sccmjournals.bsky.social, we examined the association between in-hospital rehab & Days Alive & At Home among #olderadults

Extra proud of @yalemed.bsky.social resident Stephanie Kim who led this work during her pregnancy
Restraints are not harmless!
Disparities in use implore us to closely examine processes --> restraint orders in the ICU
Grateful to McGowan et al for this study.
And to editors @annalsats.bsky.social for the opportunity to contextualize it.

Title slide : Update in ICU Survivorship
Slide: Agenda O2 targets: in aggregate On the institutional supports for survivorship What happens after LTACHs? Telerehab readiness Evolving data and best practice on in-ICU communication
I was asked to give an "Update on [the 2023 Literature] on ICU Survivorship" for Dr Dale Needham's amazing Johns Hopkins ICU Mobility #ICUrehab course. Here are my slides from yesterday's live presentation
Inequities in post-hospital rehab can ⬆️ disparities in functional outcomes of #olderadults
Grateful to mentors @lferrantemd.bsky.social @hmkyale.bsky.social
And the reviewers and editors @annalsats.bsky.social for improving our work!

We found that older adults of Black race and dual-eligible for Medicare and Medicaid were ⬇️ likely to get rehabilitation services at home compared to those of non-Hispanic White race and no Medicaid insurance, respectively
Using @NHATS_NSOC linked to @MedicareGov Claims, we investigated the association between
🔸 Medicaid status
🔸 Race and Ethnicity
🔸 Education &
🔸Limited English Proficiency
and rehabilitation delivered within 100 days of ICU Hospitalization across home and SNF settings
Thank you for highlighting our work!
1/2 of older adults with post-ICU functional decline do NOT recover; those with social vulnerability do worse
In @annalsats.bsky.social, we investigate the association between SDOH and post-hospitalization rehab
4/4 Implementation Efforts to 📈 the Delivery of Rehabilitation to Critically Ill Patients are Urgently Needed!
Grateful to mentors @hmkyale.bsky.social Lauren ferrante @allanwalkey.bsky.social Jason Falvey for their guidance & the reviewers and editors at #JournalCHEST for improving our work.
3/4
🔹 Safety-net hospitals had 20% Lower Odds of providing rehabilitation compared to Non-safety-net hospitals
2/4
Among >800,000 ICU Hospitalizations across >1,800 Hospitals, we found
🔹 >40% patients NEVER got a rehabilitation consultation
🔹 Hospitals varied ~ 2-fold in the likelihood of delivering rehabilitation to patients with identical characteristics
&
1/4
Rehabilitation can ⬆️ Functional Independence and ⬇️ Long-term Cognitive Impairment among #ICU survivors. But how often do hospitals deliver it?
Led by @yalemedicine.bsky.social resident Jose Victor, our paper bit.ly/41p9fPT in @accpchest.bsky.social provides insights
Thank you for your incredible talk on building a mentor network! And congrats on your new role 👏🏽
