Pilot Study on Device-assisted Mobilisation of Critically Ill Patients

Germany40 participantsStarted 2023-04-27

Plain-language summary

This Pilot study will hypothesize that patients with organ insufficiency and breathing assistance in our post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU) and ICU will be mobilized more often to an ICU mobility scale (IMS) ≥ 4 (i.e. standing) using the Liana® mobilizer. Therefore a randomized controlled pilot study will be conducted. The aim is to achieve an important physical function mile stone more often using this device. Secondary hypotheses are: 1. The intervention will relieve the burden of the health care staff in the unit 2. The intervention will positively influence the functional outcome of critically ill patients 3. The intervention is perceived as positive by the patients
