Towards RECOVER: Outcomes and Needs Assessment in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Survivors of Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation and Their Caregivers — RECOVER  

Critically Ill Clinical Trial

Official title:
Towards RECOVER - Rehabilitation and Recovery in Survivors of Critical Illness. Long-Term Outcomes and Needs Assessment in ICU Survivors of Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation and Their Caregivers

Clinical Trial Summary

Advances in critical care medicine have dramatically improved the survival of critically ill patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation. However, there are no systematic follow-up, rehabilitation, or psychoeducational interventions for these vulnerable patients or their family caregivers who contribute to survivor recovery and rehabilitation. Major barriers to developing these programs for survivors of prolonged mechanical ventilation and their caregivers include the following:

1. There is inadequate information about the determinants of long-term functional outcomes for a diverse group of survivors of prolonged mechanical ventilation.

2. There is inadequate information about the needs of survivors of prolonged mechanical ventilation and their family caregivers across the trajectory of illness (i.e., from the ICU to the community).

3. There is a poor understanding of the development of ICU-acquired muscle injury.

Towards RECOVER is the very first study to identify survivors of prolonged mechanical ventilation who are at-risk for poor functional outcomes, to identify elements of the care-giving situation that put caregivers at risk for poor quality of life and mental health, to catalogue the rehabilitative needs of patients and family caregivers across the illness trajectory, and to evaluate the mechanism of critical illness associated muscle injury.

The RECOVER Program consists of Four Phases:

- Phase I: Towards RECOVER

- Phase II: RECOVER development and pilot testing

- Phase III: RECOVER randomized controlled trial

- Phase IV: Long-term implementation of RECOVER
