Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To study all ICU patients with an independent baseline functional status , who experience a critical illness requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation evaluating long-term cognitive and executive function and long term cost effectiveness in survivors who required mechanical ventilation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Immediate mobilization of mechanically ventilated (MV) ICU patients is not part of usual care in the U.S. or internationally. Our previous work supports that early mobilization through physical and occupational therapy for ICU patients on the ventilator can help them experience less delirium, spend less time in the ICU and hospital, and become more independent when they leave. To advance our knowledge in this area, large longitudinal studies are needed to understand the long-term physical, cognitive and mental health status of survivors and to test how specific ICU therapies may affect these outcomes.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Early physical therapy(PT) occupational therapy (OT)

Early PT OT assessments begin on first day of study. Therapy delivered by a team consisting of physical and occupational therapists and coordinated with daily sedative interruption

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

early PT OT

Intervention Type OTHER

1. Passive range of motion (ROM) in pts who remain unresponsive despite sedative interruption.
2. active assisted ROM in supine position.
3. treatment is advanced to bed mobility activities
4. sitting balance activities followed by participation in activities of daily living (ADLs) and exercises that encourage increased independence with functional tasks.
5. progression to transfer training, and finally pre-gait training and ambulation.
6. progression of activities dependent on patient tolerance and stability
7. therapy sessions continue on a daily basis throughout hospital stay until return to prior level of function or is discharged.

standard care
