- Abstract
ASD patients were less hypoxemic at ICU admission; we can just speculate that, being less dyspnoeic, they possibly had more clear-headed experiences of their own condition and of the surrounding environment, including other patients' struggle and death. Many patients described nightmares, feeling of derealization and the initial belief of being in a fake hospital; this mainly affected the first patients of the pandemic. 10 patients (21.3%-ASD 4 (21.1%) vs. non-ASD patients 6 (21.4%); I p i = 0.975) wanted to see the ICU, both to meet the ICU staff and to help their memories' reconstruction process.
