For Mr. Quentin Q. everything was quick and confuse.

In fact everything went very fast, I think I didn’t even have time to say goodbye to my wife, she had kept my (-) my bag and then uh I just remember that I got a mask and I fell asleep. I think it was that very night and I stayed asleep for a week (-) in an artificial coma. And it seems that for three days the doctors tried to watch my oxygen which should have gone up and then it went down instead and then after that there were three days of intubation. So for 72 hours I was intubated. I remember the intensive care unit where I was in a cubicle, there were 7 or 8 uh (-) the nurses took good care of me, the medical team, a doctor accompanied by assistants came to check on me. I remember things like that. But it was quite confusing when I woke up and then the few days that followed.

Experiences in the intensive care unit

With the technical and medical possibilities on intensive care a patient can be able to survive life-threatening illnesses. These experiences of critical illness and intensive care medicine are challenging for patients and families. Often experiences made on intensive care unit (ICU) can be life changing.
In small video- or audio-sequences we would like to illustrate the experiences made by patients on ICU and how they handled their stay in this critical situation.
Many patients share their experiences on intensive care unit and show how these experiences influenced their life.

We are curious about your story!
