About this study

This study aims to estimate the incidence of adverse events during physiotherapy at intensive care unit (ICU) in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery and to identify predictors of those events. This is a prospective cohort study, and the investigators observed all types of physiotherapy interventions in patients admitted at surgical ICU.

Read the detailed description

Physiotherapy intervention practice in patients after cardiac surgery has been associated with better clinical outcomes, but the safety of such interventions are not fully understood.

A prospective observational study of patients admitted at surgical ICU, aged > 18 years old, undergoing cardiac surgery was conducted to estimate the incidence of adverse events during physiotherapy interventions in those patients and to identify predictors of adverse events.

Physiotherapy interventions were observed, performed by physiotherapists outside of the protocol. The occurrence of adverse events or physiological abnormality were recorded, classifying them according to the symptomatic consequences for the patient, from grade 1 ("near miss", additional intervention not required) to grade 5 (death). The investigators collected clinical characteristics of patients, such as sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, comorbidities, sedation leve and pain. Participants were followed up to hospital discharge.

What is being measured

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

  1. Adverse Event

    Occurrence of adverse events during all physiotherapy interventions.

    Measured: until date of ICU discharge or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Grade of adverse event

    Grade of observed adverse event according to the symptomatic consequences for the patient, from grade 1 ("near miss", additional intervention not required) to grade 5 (death)

    Measured: until date of ICU discharge or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, up to 24 months

  2. Mortality Rate

    Number of deaths

    Measured: Until hospital discharge, up to 24 months

  3. ICU Length of Stay

    Number of days in ICU

    Measured: Until ICU discharge, up to 24 months

  4. Hospital Length of Stay

    Number of days in hospital

    Measured: Until hospital discharge, up to 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Adverse Event and Physiotherapy, run by University of Sao Paulo General Hospital.

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 1 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 25 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Adverse Event (time frame: until date of ICU discharge or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, up to 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 25 Jun 2018.
