Clinical Trial Summary

Critically ill patients frequently develop muscle weakness due to critical illness-related acute neuropathy and/or myopathy. This disorder is associated with difficulties in weaning from mechanical ventilation, prolonged intensive care unit and hospital stay, and increased mortality rates. In addition, many patients continue to suffer from decreased exercise capacity and quality of life for months to years after the acute event.

Besides controlling risk factors, no specific prevention or treatment exists. Recommendations advice to start early with active and passive exercise in critically ill patients (1). Having critically ill patients alert and engaged in progressive rehabilitation leading to mobilization, despite the use of life support therapies may reduce muscle atrophy and lead to improved strength and physical function (2).

This randomized controlled trial was designed to investigate whether a daily training session using a tilt table, started early in stable critically ill patients with an expected prolonged ICU stay, could induce a beneficial effect on exercise performance, quadriceps force and functional autonomy at ICU and hospital discharge compared to a standard physiotherapy program.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Measure of overall muscle strength, a composite Medical Research Council score (MRC score) from examination of 3 muscle groups in each limb is used. Clinically important muscle weakness has been defined as a composite MRC score <80% of normal (eg, a score <48 out of a maximum of 60 based on examination of 3 muscle groups in each limb).
MRC score is measured after randomization, before ICU discharge and before hospital discharge.
Medical Research Council, the patient is monitored and evaluate for up to 1 month
Secondary The time to standing This secondary endpoint is measured every day until the leaving of ICU and continued until leaving the hospital. Duration ( time and every day), the patient is monitored and evaluate for up to 1 month
Secondary ICU stay duration (day number), the patient is monitored and evaluate for up to 1 month
Secondary Hospital stay duration (day number), the patient is monitored and evaluate for up to 1 month
Secondary Mechanical ventilation duration This secondary endpoint is measured every day until the leaving of ICU and continued until leaving the hospital. time in minutes (every day), the patient is monitored and evaluate for up to 1 month
Secondary Hospital mortality number of deaths number of death during the 3 years of the study
Secondary Changes in blood pressure of more or less 20% of the reference value of rest required to stop the session or initiation of medical treatment This secondary endpoint is measured every day until the leaving of ICU and continued until leaving the hospital. Blood Pressure(mm Hg) before and during standing session (every day). the patient is monitored and evaluate for up to 1 month
Secondary Changes in heart rate of more or less 20% of the reference value of rest required to stop the session or initiation of medical treatment This secondary endpoint is measured every day until the leaving of ICU and continued until leaving the hospital. heartt rate (beats a minute) before and during standing session (every day). the patient is monitored and evaluate for up to 1 month
Secondary Onset of arrhythmia This secondary endpoint is measured every day until the leaving of ICU and continued until leaving the hospital. irregular heart beat, every day the patient is monitored and evaluate for up to 1 month
Secondary Appearance of a disorder repolarization This secondary endpoint is measured every day until the leaving of ICU and continued until leaving the hospital. ECG Interpretation, every day the patient is monitored and evaluate for up to 1 month
Secondary desaturation of more than 10% of the reference value requiring a decision of the meeting or any medical intervention, This secondary endpoint is measured every day until the leaving of ICU and continued until leaving the hospital. % saturation, every day, the patient is monitored and evaluate for up to 1 month
Secondary Increase in systolic pulmonary artery pressure more than 60 mmHg This secondary endpoint is measured every day until the leaving of ICU and continued until leaving the hospital. systolic pulmonary artery pressure (every day), the patient is monitored and evaluate for up to 1 month
Secondary Pneumothorax detected immediately after standing session This secondary endpoint is measured every day until the leaving of ICU and continued until leaving the hospital. Chest radiography and clinical examination, every day the patient is monitored and evaluate for up to 1 month
Secondary Agitation requiring the increase of sedation or complicated tear gastric catheter probe or endotracheal tube, This secondary endpoint is measured every day until the leaving of ICU and continued until leaving the hospital. observation evry day, the patient is monitored and evaluate for up to 1 month
Secondary Fall of the patient during a transfer This secondary endpoint is measured every day until the leaving of ICU and continued until leaving the hospital. observation, every day the patient is monitored and evaluate for up to 1 month
