  I’m excited to showcase My OT Spot’s first interview with an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Occupational Therapist, Abby Lefkove, OTR/L. Occupational therapy in the ICU is a subset of acute care that entails working with medically fragile patients and their families while they are in the ICU.
  In this interview, Abby tells us about what a typical occupational therapist in the ICU’s job looks like, along with recommendations for those who are interested in working in the ICU or are about to start an ICU rotation.
  My name is Abby Lefkove and I’ve been an OT for several years at a community-based hospital in Decatur, GA, where I started in acute care. I moved into the ICU about a year ago and I’m now primarily in the ICU, depending on our census. I also have a passion for adaptive rock climbing.
  Our ICU is very mixed. We have a lot of patients in respiratory distress or failure, COPD or CHF exacerbation, along with severe sepsis with organ failure. We also see patients following a myocardial infarction or those who have had a major surgery and need ICU monitoring. Every stroke patient given TPA comes to the ICU for monitoring.
  A lot of the neurosurgical interventions like the patients post-craniotomy will come to the ICU and they’ll usually spend a day or so. People with carotid endarterectomies will also come to us.
  We also see a good amount of people detoxing and a fair amount of people who have transferred back from our LTACH that have gotten sicker.
