Intensive Care Unit (ICU) survivorship comprises a burgeoning area of critical care medicine, largely due to our improved understanding of and concern for patients' recovery trajectory, and efforts to mitigate the post-acute complications of critical illness. Expansion of care beyond hospitalization is necessary, yet evidence for post-ICU clinics remains limited and mixed, as both interventions and target populations studied to date are too heterogenous to meaningfully demonstrate efficacy. Here, we briefly present the existing evidence and limitations related to post-ICU clinics, identify cardiac arrest survivors as a unique ICU subpopulation warranting further investigation and treatment, and propose a clinical framework that addresses the multifaceted needs of this well-defined patient population.
•Expansion of care for ICU survivors is necessary, yet target populations and interventions require further investigation.•The implementation of and evidence for ICU follow-up clinics remain limited.•Cardiac arrest survivors represent a high-risk subpopulation of ICU survivors warranting longitudinal treatment.•A recovery clinic for cardiac arrest survivors serves to better characterize, risk stratify, and treat this unique group.
