ICU Guide for Families
Understanding Intensive Care and How You Can Support Your Loved One
«
With our aging population and now with Covid, more and more people are experiencing a stay in a hospital’s intensive care unit. While all of us have seen the inside of an ICU on TV shows and movies, actually having a family member in “the unit” is one of life’s most disorienting experiences. Who are all of these people? What are they doing? What is that machine? And, most importantly, what will happen to my loved one? In The ICU Guide for Families, intensive care physician Lara Goitein manages to demystify the ICU in a way that balances technical accuracy with true compassion. It is a must-have resource for families who find themselves anxiously trying to navigate this unfamiliar world.
