What is the optimum time for initiation of early mobilization in mechanically ventilated patients? A network meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Early mobilization has been proven to be an effective and safe intervention for preventing complications in mechanically ventilated patients; however, there is currently no unified definition of the optimal mobilization initiation time, hindering widespread clinical implementation. As clinicians are increasingly aware of the benefits of early mobilization, the definition of early mobilization is important. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of different early mobilization initiation times on mechanically ventilated patients and rank these times for practical consideration. The Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, the Chinese Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase databases, along with grey literature and reference lists, were searched for randomized control trials (RCTs) that evaluated the effects of early mobilization for improving patient outcomes; databases were searched from inception to October 2018. Two authors extracted data independently, using a predesigned Excel form, and assessed the quality of included RCTs according to the Cochrane Handbook (v5.1.0). Data were analyzed using Stata (v13.0) and Review Manager (v5.3.0). A total of 15 RCTs involving 1726 patients and seven mobilization initiation times (which were all compared to usual care) were included in our analysis. Network meta-analysis showed that mechanical ventilation for 48-72 h may be optimal to improve intensive care unit acquired weakness (ICU-AW) and reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation; however, there were no significant differences in length of ICU stay according to mobilization initiation time. The results of this study indicate that initiation of mobilization within 48-72 h of mechanical ventilation may be optimal for improving clinical outcomes for mechanically ventilated patients.

Project description:BackgroundThis systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the effectiveness of systematic early mobilization in improving muscle strength and physical function in mechanically ventilated intensive care unit (ICU) patients.MethodsWe conducted a two-stage systematic literature search in MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library until January 2019 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining the effects of early mobilization initiated within 7 days after ICU admission compared with late mobilization, standard early mobilization or no mobilization. Priority outcomes were Medical Research Council Sum Score (MRC-SS), incidence of ICU-acquired weakness (ICUAW), 6-min walk test (6MWT), proportion of patients reaching independence, time needed until walking, SF-36 Physical Function Domain Score (PFS) and SF-36 Physical Health Component Score (PCS). Meta-analysis was conducted where sufficient comparable evidence was available. We evaluated the certainty of evidence according to the GRADE approach.ResultsWe identified 12 eligible RCTs contributing data from 1304 participants. Two RCTs were categorized as comparing systematic early with late mobilization, nine with standard early mobilization and one with no mobilization. We found evidence for a benefit of systematic early mobilization compared to late mobilization for SF-36 PFS (MD 12.3; 95% CI 3.9-20.8) and PCS (MD 3.4; 95% CI 0.01-6.8), as well as on the proportion of patients reaching independence and the time needed to walking, but not for incidence of ICUAW (RR 0.62; 95% CI 0.38-1.03) or MRC-SS. For systematic early compared to standard early mobilization, we found no statistically significant benefit on MRC-SS (MD 5.8; 95% CI - 1.4 to 13.0), incidence of ICUAW (RR 0.90; 95% CI 0.63-1.27), SF-36 PFS (MD 8.1; 95% CI - 15.3 to 31.4) or PCS (MD - 2.4; 95% CI - 6.1 to 1.3) or other priority outcomes except for change in 6MWT from baseline. Generally, effects appeared stronger for systematic early compared to late mobilization than to standard early mobilization. We judged the certainty of evidence for all outcomes as very low to low.ConclusionThe evidence regarding a benefit of systematic early mobilization remained inconclusive. However, our findings indicate that the larger the difference in the timing between the intervention and the comparator, the more likely an RCT is to find a benefit for early mobilization.Study registrationPROSPERO (CRD42019122555).

Project description:This scoping review is aimed to summarize current knowledge on respiratory support adjustments and monitoring of metabolic and respiratory variables in mechanically ventilated adult patients performing early mobilization.Data sourcesEight electronic databases were searched from inception to February 2021, using a predefined search strategy.Study selectionTwo blinded reviewers performed document selection by title, abstract, and full text according to the following criteria: mechanically ventilated adult patients performing any mobilization intervention, respiratory support adjustments, and/or monitoring of metabolic/respiratory real-time variables.Data extractionFour physiotherapists extracted relevant information using a prespecified template.Data synthesisFrom 1,208 references screened, 35 documents were selected for analysis, where 20 (57%) were published between 2016 and 2020. Respiratory support settings (ventilatory modes or respiratory variables) were reported in 21 documents (60%). Reported modes were assisted (n = 11) and assist-control (n = 9). Adjustment of variables and modes were identified in only seven documents (20%). The most frequent respiratory variable was the Fio2, and only four studies modified the level of ventilatory support. Mechanical ventilator brand/model used was not specified in 26 documents (74%). Monitoring of respiratory, metabolic, and both variables were reported in 22 documents (63%), four documents (11%) and 10 documents (29%), respectively. These variables were reported to assess the physiologic response (n = 21) or safety (n = 13). Monitored variables were mostly respiratory rate (n = 26), pulse oximetry (n = 22), and oxygen consumption (n = 9). Remarkably, no study assessed the work of breathing or effort during mobilization.ConclusionsLittle information on respiratory support adjustments during mobilization of mechanically ventilated patients was identified. Monitoring of metabolic and respiratory variables is also scant. More studies on the effects of adjustments of the level/mode of ventilatory support on exercise performance and respiratory muscle activity monitoring for safe and efficient implementation of early mobilization in mechanically ventilated patients are needed.

Project description:Physical dysfunction after discharge from the intensive care unit (ICU) is recognized as a common complication among ICU patients. Early mobilization (EM), defined as the ability to sit on the edge of the bed within 5 days, may help improve physical dysfunction. However, the barriers to, and achievement of, EM and their impact on physical dysfunction have not been fully investigated. This study aimed to investigate the achievement of EM and barriers to it and their impact on patient outcomes in mechanically ventilated ICU patients. We conducted this multicenter retrospective cohort study by collecting data from six ICUs in Japan. Consecutive patients who were admitted to the ICU between April 2019 and March 2020, were aged ≥ 18 years, and received mechanical ventilation for > 48 h were eligible. The primary outcome was the rate of independent activities of daily living (ADL), defined as a score ≥ 70 on the Barthel index at hospital discharge. Daily changes in barriers of mobilization, including consciousness, respiratory, circulatory, medical staff factors, and device factors (catheter, drain, and dialysis), along with the clinical outcomes were investigated. The association among barriers, mobilization, and Barthel index ≥ 70 was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression analysis. During the study period, 206 patients were enrolled. EM was achieved in 116 patients (68%) on the fifth ICU day. The primary outcome revealed that achieving EM was associated with a Barthel index ≥ 70 at hospital discharge [adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 3.44; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.70-6.96]. Device factors (AOR, 0.31; 95% CI, 0.13-0.75, respectively) were significantly associated with EM achievement. EM was associated with independent ADL at hospital discharge. Time to first mobilization and barriers to achieving mobilization can be important parameters for achieving ADL independence at discharge. Further research is required to determine the most common barriers so that they can be identified and removed.

Project description:IntroductionThe aim of this study was to investigate current mobilization practice, strength at ICU discharge and functional recovery at 6 months among mechanically ventilated ICU patients.MethodThis was a prospective, multi-centre, cohort study conducted in twelve ICUs in Australia and New Zealand. Patients were previously functionally independent and expected to be ventilated for >48 hours. We measured mobilization during invasive ventilation, sedation depth using the Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale (RASS), co-interventions, duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU-acquired weakness (ICUAW) at ICU discharge, mortality at day 90, and 6-month functional recovery including return to work.ResultsWe studied 192 patients (mean age 58.1 ± 15.8 years; mean Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) (IQR) II score, 18.0 (14 to 24)). Mortality at day 90 was 26.6% (51/192). Over 1,351 study days, we collected information during 1,288 planned early mobilization episodes in patients on mechanical ventilation for the first 14 days or until extubation (whichever occurred first). We recorded the highest level of early mobilization. Despite the presence of dedicated physical therapy staff, no mobilization occurred in 1,079 (84%) of these episodes. Where mobilization occurred, the maximum levels of mobilization were exercises in bed (N = 94, 7%), standing at the bed side (N = 11, 0.9%) or walking (N = 26, 2%). On day three, all patients who were mobilized were mechanically ventilated via an endotracheal tube (N = 10), whereas by day five 50% of the patients mobilized were mechanically ventilated via a tracheostomy tube (N = 18).ConclusionsEarly mobilization of patients receiving mechanical ventilation was uncommon. More than 50% of patients discharged from the ICU had developed ICU-acquired weakness, which was associated with death between ICU discharge and day-90.Clinical trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT01674608. Registered 14 August 2012.

Project description:Rationale: Previous outcome studies of mechanical ventilation usually adopted a static timeframe to observe the outcome and reported prognosis from the standpoint of the first ventilator day. However, patients and their families may repeatedly inquire about prognosis over time after the initiation of mechanical ventilation.Objectives: We aimed to describe dynamic changes in prognosis according to the elapsed time on a ventilator among mechanically ventilated patients.Methods: For this cohort study we used the entire population dataset of Taiwan's National Health Insurance database. We enrolled adults who newly received invasive mechanical ventilation for at least two consecutive days between March 1, 2010, and August 31, 2011. For every single ventilator day after the initiation of mechanical ventilation, we estimated the cumulative probabilities of weaning success and death in the subsequent 90 days.Results: A total of 162,200 episodes of respiratory failure requiring invasive mechanical ventilation were included. The median age of the subjects was 72 years (interquartile range 57-81 yr) and the median follow-up time was 250 days (interquartile range 30-463 d). The probability curve of weaning success against the time on ventilation showed a unidirectionally decreasing trend, with a relatively sharp slope in the initial 2 months. The probabilities of weaning success in 90 days after the 2nd, 7th, 21st, and 60th ventilator days were 68.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 68.1-68.5%), 62.6% (95% CI, 62.2-62.9%), 46.3% (95% CI, 45.8-46.8%), and 21.0% (95% CI, 20.3-21.8%), respectively. In contrast, the death curve showed an initial increase and then a decreasing trend after the 19th ventilator day. We also reported tailored prognosis information according to the age, sex, and ventilator day of a mechanically ventilated patient.Conclusions: This study provides ventilator-day-specific prognosis information obtained from a large cohort of unselected patients on invasive mechanical ventilation. The probability of weaning success decreased with the elapsed time on mechanical ventilation, and the decline was particularly remarkable in the first 2 months of ventilatory support.
