Defining needs and goals of post-ICU care for trauma patients: preliminary study.
The aim of this study was to assess the long-term physical and psychological disabilities and their economic impact in severe trauma survivors. ⋯ Survivors of severe trauma in our cohort had limited autonomy and need long-term rehabilitation. Most of them rely on private healthcare services with a significant financial impact on their family budget. Almost all patients had moderate to severe depression. Future post-ICU counseling services should facilitate access to rehabilitation and psychological support for these patients.
