ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To ascertain whether a mobile patient lift facilitates early mobilization in ventilated ICU patients.DESIGN:
A single-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial.SETTING:
An academic ICU in Tokyo. PATIENTS Eighty patients were admitted to ICU and expected ventilation for at least 48 hours.INTERVENTIONS:
In the intervention group, in addition to the rehabilitation protocol received by the control group, patients were assisted in sitting, standing, transfers, and walking using the mobile patient lift. MEASUREMENTS AND MAINRESULTS:
The intervention group predominantly stood faster than the control group (1.0 vs. 3.0 d, p < 0.01). The Intervention group also had significantly higher Functional Status Score-ICU scores at ICU discharge. However, the Medical Research Council score and Barthel index at discharge, length of ICU stay, and number of ventilator-free days did not differ between the two groups.CONCLUSIONS:
The use of mobile patient lifts facilitates the earlier standing of patients on ventilators. This may contribute to patients improved physical function in the ICU. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study protocol was registered with the University Hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN) under the registration number UMIN000044965. Registered July 30, 2021.
