Kaylee Dayton: 过去，ICU的镇静实践基于一种误解，认为患者越不察觉或反应，他们携带的创伤就越少。然而，研究表明，减少镇静剂量和持续时间可以显著降低PTSD的发生率。谵妄是ICU后PTSD的主要风险因素之一，它可能导致创伤性幻觉记忆。谵妄导致的认知障碍与中度创伤性脑损伤相当，因此，ICU的镇静和活动实践需要改变，以减少对患者大脑的长期伤害。 Angela Leggett: 我是一名ICU幸存者，经历了长时间的镇静、不动和ICU后PTSD。我出生时患有五种心脏缺陷，需要进行多次手术。在2001年，我进行了心脏手术，术后使用了ECMO，并在ICU中度过了51天。期间，我经历了严重的谵妄和创伤性记忆，至今仍然对医院的声音和光线感到恐惧。我在康复过程中经历了极大的恐惧和焦虑，尝试了多种治疗方法，但效果有限。直到我参加了UCF Restores的暴露疗法，这种疗法在两周内对我的帮助超过了20年的其他治疗，让我能够重新旅行，不再担心医院的位置，感觉找回了自己的生活。
