NCT ID: NCT03364933 Completed - ICU Length of Stay Clinical Trials

Primary Intensivists and Primary Nurses to Decrease Pediatric ICU Length of Stay

PIPRNs
Start date: February 1, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a randomized control trial of PICU patients admitted for 7 days and expected to remain for at least another 3 days and who have a complex chronic condition. Patients will be randomized to usual care or usual care plus a primary intensivist and group of primary nurses (to facilitate passing of important patient information and informed, expedited decision-making). The primary research question is whether having a primary intensivist and nurses decreases PICU length of stay.

NCT ID: NCT01769846 Completed - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

The Impact of Early Mobilization Protocol in Patients in the ICU

Start date: March 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Advances in intensive care and mechanical ventilation (MV) in the past two decades have increased critically ill patient survival. However, some patients require prolonged MV (PMV) and are deconditioned due to respiratory insufficiency caused by underlying disease, adverse effects of medications, and prolonged immobilization. Patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) are often confined to their beds, which results in inactivity, immobility, and severe osteomyoarticular system dysfunction. Our hypothesis is that an early mobilization protocol improves muscle thickness (MT) of the quadriceps femoris, peripheral muscle strength, perceived functional status, gait speed, quality of life, duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU length of stay of the critically ill patient. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of implementation an early mobilization protocol in critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit of the University Hospital of Santa Maria.
