Modern intensive care units (ICUs) have been developed exclusively toward the ultimate goal of saving the lives of critically ill patients. Therefore, environmental conditions in the ICU are distinct from those in the general ward or an ordinary residence, devoid of access to the natural environment, but full of noises created by monitoring alarms, medical staff and families. These conditions are associated with the development of postintensive care syndrome (PICS). Along with these “environmental factors”, “treatment factors” from pharmacological and mechanical interventions including sedation, mechanical ventilation, circulatory support, blood purification and complications from the interventions are also associated with the development of PICS. Understanding the relationship between these iatrogenic factors and the development of PICS is essential. To optimize these iatrogenic factors according to the patients' condition including modification of the ICU environment, use of ABCDE bundles, and choice of less invasive treatments may lead to the prevention of PICS through delirium management, early liberation from the ventilator, and early discharge from the ICU.
