Use of the ICU Liberation Bundle (A-F) has been shown to decrease delirium, coma, restraint use, transfer to skilled nursing facilities, readmissions, ICU and hospital lengths of stay, and mortality and significantly reduce healthcare costs. Use of the bundle has decreased dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this session is to help ICU teams improve bundle compliance and performance during and after the pandemic.
