Rehabilitation already begins in the intensive care unit (ICU) to maintain or restore the functional capacity of ICU patients and to counteract the long-term effects of intensive care treatment. Mobilisation is an important component.
The aim of this multinational observational study is to record and evaluate the different mobilisation practices for ICU patients worldwide. The investigators want to find out which forms of mobilisation in intensive care patients achieve the best results in terms of physical function, functional status and quality of life.
The goal is to recruit over 6,000 patients internationally. No interventions will be carried out, only routine clinical data will be documented and standardised and already established physical tests and questionnaires will be used.
Adults (≥ 18 years old) within 48 hours of ICU admission
Expected to stay > 24 hours in the ICU
Patients who receive end-of-life care at the time of screening
Patients whose treatment plans are still under discussion and/or not all team members are committed to full active treatment
Patients whose functional status is unlikely to be obtainable
Patients with language barriers
Intensive care unit patients
Cohort
Prospective
Not listed
Physical function at ICU discharge
Physical function measured with the Functional Status Score for the Intensive Care Unit (FSS-ICU). The total score ranges from 0 to 35, with higher scores indicating better physical function.
Highest level of mobility at ICU discharge and 90 days
Highest level of mobility measured with the ICU Mobility Scale (IMS). The scale ranges from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating a higher level of mobility (up to independent walking).
Physical function at 90 days
Physical function measured with the Functional Status Score for the Intensive Care Unit (FSS-ICU). The total score ranges from 0 to 35, with higher scores indicating better physical function.
Frailty/ Functional status at ICU discharge and 90 days
Frailty/ Functional status measured with the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS). The scale ranges from 1 (very fit) to 9 (terminally ill), with higher scores indicating a higher degree of frailty.
