Awake and Walking ICU and delirium discussion with Kali Dayton - a podcast by Mark Hudson

Talking with Nurse Practioner, Podcaster and my good friend Kali Dayton (of Walking Home from the ICU and Walking through the ICU) about the benefits of the awake and walking ICU model. We talk about life in ICU and the effects of 'treatments' in a patient's long term recovery. We talk about my favourite topic delirium and the things we do in ICU that risk increasing instances or duration of delirium. 

Kali is a wonderful person who works very hard to improve the ICU environment for patients by reducing the practice of sedating all intubated patients and getting them back moving as soon as possible. The Old adage an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure really applies to her work. If you stop patients deconditioning then you don't need to put them through long rehabilitation afterwards.
