Effects of Continuous Mobility Training in Individuals With Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation : A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Continuous Mobility Training and Usual Care for Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation. Completed, enrolled 56 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Background: The exercise intervention can help participants with prolonged mechanical ventilation improve ventilator weaning; however, the content of exercise intervention is diverse and inconsistent. Objective: This study aims to design the continuous mobility training and examine the clinical effects in participants with prolonged mechanical ventilation. Methods: This prospective, single-center, concealed allocation, evaluator-blind, randomized control study divided participants transferred from the intensive care unit to the respiratory care center into two groups. The control group underwent the routine ventilator weaning plan and hand bicycle training, while the experimental group underwent routine ventilator weaning plan and continuous mobility training plan. The success rate of ventilator weaning, length of mechanical ventilation, length of stay at the respiratory care center, and total length of hospital stay were analyzed.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The continuous mobility training adopted 5 grading exercise level, which was evaluated and implemented by physical therapists, and focused on continuous mobility training courses with different levels. At each stage, the participants were instructed to perform spontaneous breathing exercise, which were confirmed by the physical therapists.
Participants of control group formed the routine care group, received the routine mechanical ventilation weaning plan and underwent hand bicycle training.
