About this study

Official title: Effect of Spontaneously Breathing Critical Patients Mobilization on Respiratory and Peripheral Muscle Strength and Functional Capacity.

To analyze changes on respiratory muscle strength, peripheral and functional capacity of critically ill patients with clinical and surgical etiology, breathing spontaneously and bedridden, within 48 hours of admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and if there are correlations among these variables. This is an observational study. Respiratory muscle strength will be assessed through the maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) and peripheral muscle strength, by the Medical Research Council score (MRC) and hand grip test and functional capacity through the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and Physical Function ICU Test Score (PFIT-s) in the period between 24h and 48h of hospitalization in the adult ICU. For descriptive purposes, the sample will be stratified according to clinical and surgical characteristics. Correlations will be determined using the Pearson test, with significance level of p <0.05.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Early ambulationProcedure or surgery

    Also called Early mobilization

    Procedure to accelerate the ability of a patient to walk or move about by reducing the time to ambulation. It is characterized by a shorter period of hospitalization or recumbency than is normally practiced.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Respiratory muscle strength

    Respiratory muscle strength will be assessed through the maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP).

    Measured: 48 hours

  2. Peripheral muscle strength

    The peripheral muscle strength will be assessed through the Medical Research Council score (MRC) and hand grip test.

    Measured: 48 hours

  3. Functional capacity

    The functional capacity will be assessed through the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and Physical Function ICU Test Score (PFIT-s).

    Measured: 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Early ambulation in people with Intensive Care Unit Syndrome and Muscle Weakness, run by Universidade Federal de Pernambuco at 1 site in Brazil.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Respiratory muscle strength (time frame: 48 hours). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02919085, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Aug 2021.
