A meta analysis found up to 25 % of ICU survivors experience PTSD.

What helps= Keeping a diary of events that occur daily.This orients the patient to the day& it’s events, yet during #COVID19 without family or friends at the bedside who is doing the reorienting & keeping track? With all the sights, sounds, & distance, will the trauma b worse?
