In this episode, Ian reviews a seminar New England Journal paper by Herridge et al. (2011) discussing functional disability longitudinally post-ARDS treatment across four MICU and SICUs in Canada. The paper details the functional, psychosocial, and medical impairments that have appeared to linger in this sample across five years of follow-up data collection. This paper is considered one of the top 100 critical care studies ever published.
