00:00What does open intensive care mean to you?
00:04Open intensive care means to bring families into intensive care
00:11not because it's a good thing, but because it's an act of healing.
00:17It helps people to heal better.
00:20For a number of reasons.
00:22I'll give you a particular example.
00:24One very important complication is delirium,
00:27a condition in which patients, due to acute illness,
00:31due to sedatives, are in a state of confusion,
00:35in which they don't understand where they are, etc.
00:38Families help to keep them rooted in their lives.
00:43And delirium is an important complication,
00:45both because it causes suffering,
00:47and because, over time, it can determine cognitive deficits
00:51comparable to those of a mild Alzheimer's.
00:54In the field of intensive care,
00:57technology has always dominated.
01:00If you think that, when intensive care was born,
01:03ventilators practically didn't exist,
01:06and patients went to be ventilated by hand
01:10or with a sort of sarcophagus,
01:13in which there were steel lungs,
01:16today we have ventilators with which it is possible
01:18to ventilate people indefinitely.
01:21So, technology, monitoring,
01:24increasingly less invasive monitoring,
01:26which allows not to sedate patients,
01:28or sedate them as little as possible,
01:30to make them move quickly.
01:32So, technology, by force of nature,
01:34goes hand in hand with the training of the staff.
