It's easier to gain trust in that position which somebody who's had bad delirium, where they're maybe thinking they're being tortured and assaulted by what is most often the time, the medics and the nursing staff.
Imagine being in the ICU, surrounded by machines and medical jargon. It can feel cold and impersonal, right? Well, this episode of the ICU Life and Recovery podcast brings a warm perspective to that sterile environment. Host Mark Hudson chats with Dr Eve Corner, a Critical Care Physio and Lecturer at Brunel University, about how physiotherapy can make a world of difference for ICU patients.
Dr Corner isn't just any guest; she was Mark's top choice due to their shared views from the Intensive Care Society's Webinar on multidisciplinary teams in ICU. In their conversation, they dive into how physiotherapists can improve patient experiences, from managing sleep and psychological impacts to building trust with patients. Dr Corner highlights the unique role physios play in delirium management and how their presence can humanize the ICU experience.

Whether you're a healthcare professional, a patient, or a family member, you'll find valuable insights into the collaborative efforts that go into patient recovery in the ICU.
