Résumé
Mortality after intensive care discharge is a hot topic in critical care medicine. Many factors probably play a role: patient's comorbidities and severity of the disease may have great impact on mortality. However it should be taken into account also the level of care that characterizes the ward in which the patient is discharged to. A soft transition from intensive care units to the other hospital wards is desirable to avoid the traumatic step that the fragile post-ICU patient has to face with.
