Hospitality in the intensive care unit, welcoming the patient

Introduction Admission in the I.C.U. is a major but very challenging time to create hospitality. During those first few minutes, caregivers are absorbed by admission procedures and emergency treatments whereas patients experience a high level of anxiety and fear of death is often involved. I.C.U. patients have a high risk of developping PTSD and admission in I.C. U. can be a schock, but however, the notion of hospitality during the admission in intensive care is poorly studied.
