title: [Physical and neuropsychological sequelae after intensive therapy].
abstract: Until recently, critical care therapy practitioners have focused on survival rather than on long-term outcomes. The incidence of physical and neuropsychological dysfunction has been underestimated and underreported after acute critical care illness. Current research indicates that these sequelae are common, may be permanent, and are associated with decreased quality of life. More studies investigating the effects of treatment and rehabilitation therapy on sequelae after intensive therapy are required.
