Abstract
Although pediatric post-intensive care syndrome is frequent and impacts the child's quality of life in various aspects, there are currently no guidelines regarding post-pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) follow-up. The aim of this study was to describe post-PICU follow-up in France. Among the 37 French PICUs, only 67 % had a consultation service, mostly performed by pediatric intensivists (95 %). Post-intensive care evaluation was the main objective for 46 % of these centers, whereas others focused on specific patient populations. Post-intensive care follow-up is highly heterogeneous and developing such consultation services appears to be a main challenge for PICU teams.
