Brief Summary

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

This study evaluates the efficacy of an early and intensive occupational therapy (OT) protocol in critical adult patients requiring mechanical ventilation. Evaluating the functional independence at hospital discharge.

Detailed Description

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

A randomized clinical trial with an experimental-control will be implemented, considering the prospective multicenter group, with parallel groups, in a 1:1 ratio, in 3 Chilean hospitals.

A control group will has a standard analgesia, sedation, delirium and mobilization (ASDM) measures or an intervention group will have early and intensive OT plus ASDM.

The intervention group will receive 20 OT sessions, mainly twice a day, which considers a predefined protocol of actions according to the patient's condition

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

A control group (standard ASDM measures) or an intervention group (early and intensive occupational therapy + ASDM) will be randomized. The intervention group will receive 20 occupational therapy sessions. The interventions will be organized on the basis of i) level of sedation, ii) presence or absence of delirium (according to CAM ICU +/- (Confusion Assessment Method Intensive Care Unit)), iii) movement with or without gravity (cut-off point 3 points in elbow flexion movement in Medical Research Council(MRC)). The areas of intervention implemented by occupational therapist will be: i) Polysensory stimulation, ii) Cognitive stimulation, iii) Basic activities of daily living, iv) Motor function stimulation, v) Education
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

TRIPLE

Caregivers Investigators Outcome Assessors
In this study, researchers, recruiters, evaluators, control group team and data analyst will be masked. These teams will not have contact with the interventionists of the experimental group. Evaluators who have contact with the patients of both groups, they will be professionals from other medical units, who do not know the ICU team, and will only be able to maintain their dialog, according to the guideline of each evaluation.

It is not possible to mask the treating occupational therapist and patient receiving OT.

Study Groups

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

Experimental Group - Early and intensive Occupational Therapy

These sessions will be implemented by occupational therapists trained in ICU, who will conduct 20 sessions of 30 min, distributed depending on the level of sedation, i) SAS (Sedation-Agitation Scale) 1 patients have one session each 48 h, evaluating the change of sedation level each 24 h; ii) SAS 2 patients have one session each 24 h, iii) SAS 3-5 have two sessions every day. The sessions will begin once the patient needs mechanical ventilation for at least 12 h

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Early and Intensive Occupational Therapy

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Occupational therapists will implement the following activities:

* Polysensory stimulation: external stimulation for increasing the level of alertness. It will be implemented with SAS 1 one session each 48 h and SAS 2 one session each 24 h.
* Cognitive stimulation: bundle of exercises for activating mental functions, i.e: alertness, visual perception, memory, calculus, problem solving, praxis, language. Patients with SAS 3, 4 and 5. In SAS \<2, 6\> environmental orientation will be considered
* Basic activities of daily living (BADLs): promotion of independence that initially practice hygiene, personal grooming. Patients with SAS 3, 4 and 5
* Motor function Stimulation: exercises to keep the patient's upper extremities active and functional. Patients with SAS with 3,4 and 5. Patients with SAS 1 and 2 will use adaptations to prevent edema and bedsores on vulnerable body areas
* Education: daily visits by trained family members and health staff about the intervention process

Control group - Standard Analgesia,Sedation, Delirium and Mobilization (ASDM) Protocol

The ASDM protocol will be implemented to mechanically ventilated patients in the ICU, following the aspects recommended by experts and the current evidence. For this, the team of medical, nurses, and physiotherapist will be trained to understand and facilitate the ASDM actions that each one must implement.
