Abstract Intensive care unit survivors are at risk of developing Post intensive care syndrome (PICS), which includes physical, psychological, and/or cognitive impairments. The prevalence of PICS in ICU survivors varies significantly, from 14.3% to 90%.The risk factors for developing PICS are varied and inconsistently defined across different studies, but they generally fall into two categories: pre-existing conditions (such as neuromuscular or neurological diseases, severe comorbidities, or psychiatric history) and ICU-related factors (such as the occurrence of delirium, the dosage of sedatives used, and conditions like acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), sepsis, or dysglycemia). The most effective evidence-based practice strategy to reduce PICS is ‘ABCDE’ bundle.
