Tan Tock Seng Hospital brings holistic occupational therapy into the ICU

Tan Tock Seng Hospital is deploying occupational therapists inside its intensive care unit (ICU). The move is aimed at keeping critically ill patients alert and emotionally connected. The move targets ICU delirium, a common complication when patients wake in unfamiliar settings under heavy sedation. The hospital says this can hinder recovery if it is not managed early. CNA speaks to Nur Laila Binte Abdul Jalal, Senior Occupational Therapist
at Tan Tock Seng Hospital, and Tay Guan Kai,  a volunteer with the Surgical Intensive Care Unit.
