The ICU Liberation Collaborative was a quality improvement initiative hosted by the Society of Critical Care Medicine among 76 hospitals (67 adult and 9 pediatric) formed to implement and assess changes in clinical practice aimed at improving patient outcomes. In two large multicenter studies at varied types of ICUs [18••, 19] , even partial bundle implementation resulted in improvement in survival, mechanical ventilation use, coma, delirium, restraint-free care, ICU readmissions, and post-ICU discharge disposition. This large-scale quality improvement strategy offers guidance for the daily care of critically ill patients that can reduce pain, agitation, and delirium, in an effort to prevent physical, psychological, and cognitive morbidities that limit or prolong recovery. ./cache/cord-011418-hy8xmtiq.txt ./txt/cord-011418-hy8xmtiq.txt
