View clinical trials related to ICU Acquired Weakness.
Filter by:Over the past 10 years, there has not been a consensus on ICU nursing management based on the concept of injury control. Case management for patients with serious trauma continues to be initiated in general services and after discharge.There is no critical care unit case management strategy for the high-risk population following acute intake. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop and enhance ICU nursing best practice after injury control.
The COVID-19 disease has been subject to numerous publications since its emergence. Almost 20% of people suffering from COVID-19 develop severe to critical symptoms and require hospitalization, often in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Respiratory failure is the main reason for admission in ICU of these patients. Therapeutic strategies implemented for the management of critically-ill patients may often lead to short-term muscular and functional alterations resulting in ICU-Acquired Weakness (ICUAW). These lead to long-term disabilities expressing trough dependence and quality of life impairment of survivors. The purpose of this study is to assess the quality of life, dependence and survival at one year in patients who survived from COVID-19 in ICU and are admitted in post-ICU setting for difficult weaning purpose. Ancillary studies aim to assess the course of muscle function (atrophy, structural modifications), lung function (loss of aeration) and safety of early mobilization.
