NOLLA-SALAS, M; MONMANY-ROCA, J  and  VAZQUEZ-MATA, G. Red Ulises: aproximación al tratamiento integral post-UCI de los pacientes que han padecido fallo multiorgánico grave. Med. Intensiva [online]. 2007, vol.31, n.5, pp.237-240. ISSN 0210-5691.

The concept of continuity of care by intensivists as an element of quality control in the medical care of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients surviving multiple organ dysfunction syndrome has led to a rethinking of the ICU model in recent years. We discuss the rationale to design and implement a hospital-based, prospective, randomized, multicenter Intervention/Control study in order to estimate the impact of an interdisciplinary intervention during the post-ICU recovery phase on medium-term medical outcomes in ICU patients with multiple organ dysfunction.
