ABSTRACT
An effective (early) mobilization in COVID-19 intensive care patients with ECMO treatment is very important. Sedation, extracorporeal procedures with the danger of circuit malfunction, large lumen ECMO cannulas with a risk of dislocation and a very severe neuromuscular weakness are factors that could deem mobilization beyond stage 1 of the ICU mobility score (IMS) in some cases difficult or impossible; however, early mobilization is a key point of the ABCDEF bundle to counteract pulmonary complications, neuromuscular dysfunction and enable recovery. The case of a 53-year-old, previously healthy and active male patient with a severe and complicated course of COVID-19 and pronounced ICU-acquired weakness is described. While receiving ECMO the patient could be mobilized using a robotic system. Due to severe and rapidly progressing pulmonary fibrosis, additional low-dose methylprednisolone therapy (Meduri protocol) was implemented. Under this multimodal treatment the patient was successfully weaned from the ventilator and decannulated. Robotic-assisted mobilization has the potential to be a novel and safe therapeutic option for a customized and highly effective mobilization in ECMO patients.
