Brief Summary

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

This is a stepped-wedge, cluster randomized, trial evaluating the effect of an early goal-directed mobilization intervention for ICU patients with acute respiratory failure within 12 medical and surgical ICUs across 4 hospitals in the University of Pennsylvania Health System. The investigators will conduct a 54-week trial to measure the effect of the intervention on multiple patient-centered outcomes of patient physical function and cognition, in addition to ICU and hospital length of stay and duration of mechanical ventilation compared to usual care.

Detailed Description

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

The STAND trial aims to measure the effect of an early goal-directed mobilization algorithm versus usual care for ICU patients with acute respiratory failure in the medical and surgical ICUs across University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) with respect to patient-centered outcomes of patient physical function and cognition as well as multiple secondary clinical outcomes. To achieve this goal, the investigators will conduct a 54-week stepped-wedge, cluster randomized, trial to test the intervention during the course of providing usual care among a large and diverse population of patients admitted to 12 ICUs across 4 hospitals within UPHS. The intervention is an early mobilization protocol implemented during a patient's stay in the ICU. It involves three steps: 1) the clinical team will set a standardized mobility goal for each patient during morning rounds and display the goal on the patient's door; 2) a facilitator will be established in the ICU to communicate mobility goals and activities across clinical personnel shifts; 3) patient mobility scores will be displayed to clinical and administrative staff in the ICU via the ICU board. Approximately 1,500 adult patients with continuous mechanical ventilation for ≥48 hours (without interruption) and baseline independent ambulatory status will be enrolled. Participating ICUs will be randomized into 6 clusters of 2 ICUs each. Each ICU contributes a minimum of 12 weeks of data under the usual care control condition prior to implementing the early mobilization intervention. Then, using the stepped-wedge design, all ICUs will implement the intervention in 6-week intervals with the order and timing of implementation determined by random assignment. By the end of the trial, all ICUs will have utilized the intervention for at least 12 weeks. The primary outcome is peak patient activity level as measure by the ICU mobility score (IMS) at ICU discharge. Secondary outcomes include an array of clinical outcomes.

Study Groups

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

Pre-Intervention (Control)

There is no trial-driven approach to care. All hospitals contribute a minimum of 12 weeks of outcomes data prior to adopting the intervention. Pre-specified outcomes data will be electronically extracted for patients meeting eligibility criteria but there will be no attempt to influence delivery of usual care within the ICU. The length of the control phase will differ for each ICU cluster, depending on the sequence in which ICU-clusters are assigned to switch to the intervention phase.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Early mobilization intervention

The clinical team will set a standardized mobility goal for each patient during morning rounds and display the goal on the patient's door. A facilitator will be established in the ICU to communicate mobility goals and activities across clinical personnel shifts. Patient mobility scores will be displayed to clinical and administrative staff in the ICU via the ICU board.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Early mobilization intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The intervention consists of 3 components: 1) A simplified mobilization goal (using the Surgical Optimal Mobility Score) will be defined during daily morning ward rounds and displayed on the doors of patients' rooms; 2) a facilitator will communicate to the care team regarding mobility goals; 3) clinicians will receive feedback on patient's mobility as mobility scores will be made available electronically on the ICU board - a dashboard for monitoring patient care in the ICU
