[Occupational and social rehabilitation of patients in an operative-traumatologic intensive care unit].
About 100 polytraumatized patients were treated yearly at the ICU of the Institute of Anaesthesiology of the Technical University of Munich. Mortality lay in the range between 30 to 40%, i.e. approximately 70 patients had to be rehabilitated per year. 75 patients treated from 1976 to 1977 were followed-up and their condition was investigated together with an inquiry into their work readjustment and social rehabilitation. In most cases the patients were found to be able to resume their previous work and it was possible to reintegrate them into society and their families. With the exception of 2 patients all examined patients still suffered some disablement.
