Occupational therapist Department of Pediatric Rehabilitation Unit, Asan Medical Center
Brief Session Description : This session will highlight the importance of timely, targeted, and comprehensive rehabilitation for children in the PICU. A multidisciplinary team (MD, PhD, PT, OT, and SLP) will present common functional limitations, current evidence supporting PICU rehabilitation, and practical approaches across physical, occupational, swallowing, speech-language, and pulmonary therapies. Real-world cases—including post–lung transplantation, post–heart transplantation, and cancer—will be used to illustrate both the benefits and challenges of rehabilitation in the PICU. Participants will gain insights into patient characteristics, multidisciplinary rehabilitation strategies, and practical issues encountered during implementation.
Session Objectives:
Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to identify the functional limitations of children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and discuss practical strategies for implementing multidisciplinary rehabilitation programs in this setting.
