Intensive Care: A Guide for You and Your Family

This guide was developed by people treated in an intensive care unit (ICU) and their loved ones. It has been reviewed by intensive care professionals and adapted for use in Alberta intensive care units. There is information for you, the patient. There is also a section for your family and friends who are supporting you in the ICU. This guide will help you know what your time in the ICU and recovery may involve, and it will answer some of the questions you may have.
