An observational study in Early Mobilization of Mechanically Ventilated Patients, sponsored by Bassett Healthcare. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-03-07.
Sponsored by Bassett Healthcare · Observational
The hypothesis of this study is that an early mobilization program coupled with organizational efforts to implement the ABCDEF bundle will increase the rate of ICU patient mobilization and decrease the ICU length of stay, but will not significantly affect patient mortality. Mobilization efforts will be done to improve patient care and the study will allow for measurement of the effects of implementation of this effort. The early mobilization program is being instituted as standard of care. The study will measure the actual degree of change in patients' activity level and to evaluate the effect of the program on outcome measures such as length of stay.
The purpose of this study is to study implementation efficacy of an early mobilization program in a rural mixed surgical and medical ICU.
The aim of the study is to test whether a program of early mobilization training along with ongoing ABCEDF bundle implementation will change the following:
This study will have a pre- and post-implementation design. Baseline activity levels of eligible patients will be collected prospectively for approximately 3 months while staff is being trained and the details of the early mobilization program are being finalized. All eligible patients will wear an accelerometer while in the ICU. Length of ICU stay, total hospitalization, discharge disposition, and the occurrence of certain hospital-acquired complications will also be recorded as part of the baseline/current practice data. There will be a pause in data collection as the early mobilization program is incorporated into standard practice.
Data collection will resume approximately one month after the implementation of the program.
All eligible patients will wear an accelerometer to measure activity level while in the ICU. Length of ICU stay, total hospitalization, discharge disposition, and the occurrence of certain hospital-acquired complications will also be recorded. Other variables to be assessed include: ICU staffing costs, overall hospitalization costs, rate of patient falls, rate of staff injuries, level of exercise tolerance achieved by time of discharge.
Bassett Healthcare is the lead sponsor of 22 studies on the registry; 2 are open to participants now.

Exclusion Criteria:
These patients are being exposed to the current standard of care, which does include some early mobilization practices, but not a formalized program.
Other: Activity level measurement by accelerometer
These patients will have been exposed to the fully executed early mobilization program.
Other: Activity level measurement by accelerometer
Eligible patients will wear an accelerometer to measure activity levels while in the ICU.
