This NEW OUTDOOR ICU rooftop garden may change how hospitals think about critical care recovery forever. Would you want an outdoor ICU space at your hospital? Gives critically ill patients something many haven’t experienced in months: fresh air, sunlight, and a connection to the outdoors. “I forgot what it feels like to be outside.” After 2 months in the ICU, a 29-year-old patient was taken onto the UK’s new rooftop intensive care garden—and became emotional experiencing fresh air and sunlight again. This may be the future of critical care. Could nature help reduce delirium, anxiety, stress, and even accelerate recovery? As ICU clinicians, we spend enormous effort optimizing medications, ventilation, nutrition, mobility, and technology. Perhaps we should also be optimizing access to sunlight, fresh air, and the healing power of nature. Would you want access to an outdoor healing space if you were recovering in the ICU? #CriticalCare #ICU #ICURehab #Medicine #Healthcare #ICURecovery #Delirium #Rehabilitation
