Hospital care
Hospital care
1.17.7 When planning hospital care for people with severe or very severe ME/CFS:
- discuss with the person (and their family or carers, as appropriate) what to expect when they come into hospital
- aim to minimise discomfort and post-exertional malaise during transfer to hospital, for example by planning the route in advance, avoiding noisy areas and admitting them straight to the ward on arrival
- discuss the person's care and support plan with them, including information on comorbidities, intolerances and sensitivities, to plan any reasonable adjustments that are needed
- aim to provide a single room if possible
- keep stimuli to a minimum, for example by:
- seeing them one-to-one
- using calm movements and gestures
- not duplicating assessments
- being cautious about the pressure of touch
- keeping lights dimmed
- reducing sound
- keeping a stable temperature
- minimising smells.
