Abstract
The incidence of critical illness syndromes such as acute lung injury and severe sepsis and the use of critical care procedures such as mechanical ventilation are increasing in the United States and are higher for older adults.1-4 These trends, coupled with an aging population and a declining mortality rate among the critically ill, are resulting in a growing number of patients who are survivors of critical illness.Keywords
