Physical therapists in the awake and walking ICU save lives and enable patients to have their lives back after discharge.

Episode 25: Respiratory Therapists

Kali Dayton, DNP, ACNP-BC, is an ICU nurse practitioner and consultant on a mission to create Awake and Walking ICUs. She hands the microphone to ICU survivors and bedside caregivers to reveal the realities of ICU experience and patients' journeys after discharge. The big picture of sedation and immobility is discussed and we explore how to improve short and long-term patient outcomes. We shift the vision from transferring out of the ICU to walking straight home after the ICU. www.DaytonICUconsulting.com Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/walkinghomefromtheicu/support
