Mr. Henri H remembers nightmares and fear.

“In every dream I was lying somewhere. I could not move.
I was lying in a room. I uh / so, mostly in a room or in a garage or where the dream took place.
No problem. I just couldn’t move.
I: What did that do to you?
E: Helpless. Fear. Not being able to escape from the situation. So, I was just lying there. Whether it was in a restaurant or in a hospital or in some other room, in a storeroom, in a garage, I lay everywhere.”

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!
