Clinical Trial Summary

Patients admitted to the critical care unit (CCU) at University Hospital Wales (UHW) have a variety of life-threatening conditions which require specialist care, often including a period of sedation and mechanical ventilation. As a consequence of critical illness, survivors often experience multiple sequela, including muscle weakness which leads to reduced mobility and physical function, especially if they experience a prolonged stay within critical care. Patients who require mechanical ventilation (MV) usually initially receive this via an endotracheal tube (ETT), but if the need for MV continues then this support is delivered through a tracheostomy tube. A small opening is made in the front of the patient's neck and the tracheostomy tube inserted into the trachea. This is connected to the ventilator and allows ventilatory support to be delivered without the need for an ETT. Consequently, sedation levels can be reduced, facilitating improved patient comfort, communication, eating, drinking and mobilisation. Early rehabilitation is a key component of a patient's critical care journey and patients are supported with this by a number of specialist staff including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nurses and support workers. Part of this rehabilitation may include helping a patient to sit on the edge of the bed, stand and mobilise. During rehabilitation sessions and other aspects of patient care, safety is paramount and staff must take care to ensure all lines and attachments are not dislodged. This includes tubing connecting the ventilator to the tracheostomy, excessive movement of which can cause damage to the airway, breakdown of skin and partial or complete dislodgement requiring immediate intervention. The number of staff required to help mobilise a patient and maintain safety can be significant, especially when the patient has several attachments. Unfortunately, this staffing burden may contribute to reduced levels of patient mobilization and rehabilitation. However, it is possible that specially designed equipment may facilitate patient mobilization with increased safety and reduced resource requirements. This study will test a garment that may achieve this and obtain staff and patient opinion on its utility.
