Inflammatory biomarkers track ICU survivor trauma
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Because surviving a ventilator just isn't enough punishment, escaping the ICU isn't the victory lap you'd expect. Weeks after discharge, a silent biochemical war wages in survivors. Doctors can now track post-intensive care syndrome by measuring lingering inflammatory blood proteins, proving that the trauma of life support leaves a quantifiable, molecular scar long after the hospital monitors are unplugged.
One discovery leads to another.
