Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) may be cared for in a pediatric or adult ICU. Specific needs of AYAs differ from those of populations typically found in either ICU. This review identifies research focused on experiences of AYAs in ICUs, their family members, and the health care professionals who care for them, revealing limited research about AYAs in ICUs: 10 articles met inclusion criteria and findings revealed that AYAs want to be treated as individuals and need health care professionals to partner with them. Further research is needed to inform developmentally appropriate care and improve serious illness communication.
