Patients with COVID-19 who require a stay in the ICU will have a long road to recovery after they are discharged from the hospital. Many patients, as well as their families, will go on to experience post-intensive care syndrome which will significantly impact their recovery process. Nutrition rehabilitation will be an essential component to their recovery.  

During this special 'Ask the Expert' webinar, Dr. Lesley Moisey will answer these and other questions related to nutrition rehabilitation specifically in COVID-19 patients who have survived an ICU stay in the Canadian context.

• What is post-intensive care syndrome and how are families impacted by it?
• What is ICU nutrition rehabilitation?
• Are COVID-19 survivors different than your typical ICU patients?
