These individuals were placed on a “NPSU Protocol,” which was implemented for optimization of care, destigmatization, and risk mitigation (n = 61).

Experts in critical care psychiatry review the case and its key elements, including principles of critical care psychiatry and pharmacologic management of ICU patients; communication problems in ICU patients and associated psychiatric distress; the benefits of proactive consultation for challenging patients; and the construct of post-intensive care syndrome. Patients with personality disorders often struggle to cope with severe medical illness, leading to challenging, self-defeating behaviors.
