About this study
Official title: Safety and Benefits of Mobilization at 4 Hours Compared to 24 Hours After Implantation of an Intracardiac Electronic Device: a Randomized Clinical Trial of Non-inferiority, Open and Controlled in Parallel Groups
Bedrest is usually prescribed for patients management after cardiac electronic device implantation (CIED) in order to prevent complication. Due to the lack of guidelines available on the timing of postoperative mobilization management, the aim of the study is to evaluate the safety of early mobilization, comparing mobilization at 4-h against day-after procedure.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Early mobilizationOther
Short-term bed-rest and immobilization
Standard of careOther
Bed-rest and immobility until the day-after procedure
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Mobilization 4-h after procedure | Experimental | Short-term bed-rest (4-h) after CIED implantation Receives: Other: Early mobilization |
| Mobilization day-after procedure | Active comparator | Standard of care with prolungate bed-rest after CIED implantation Receives: Other: Standard of care |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Composite endpoint: pacing lead dislodgement, pocket hematoma, pneumothorax, and pericardial effusion
Incidence of post-operatory complications (composite endpoint). Non inferiority margin 5%
Measured: Within 48 hours post operative
Secondary outcomes (7)
Post-operative pain
Pain will be assessed with the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scale ranging from 0 to 10 (0 corresponds to no pain and 10 to maximal level of pain).
Measured: 24 hours
Sleep disturbance
Quality of sleep will be assessed using the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ), which ranges from 0 to 500 points, where 0 indicates the worst possible sleep quality and 500 the best possible. The sub-scores include sleep depth, sleep latency, number of awakenings, return to sleep after awakening, and overall sleep quality (each ranging from 0 to 100 points).
Measured: The first night after surgery
Number of participants with postoperative urinary retention
Number of participants requiring an intervention such as a Foley catheter or catheterization
Measured: Within 24 hours post operative
Number of participants developing postoperative delirium
Number of participants who develop postoperative delirium, as assessed by the 3-Minute Diagnostic Interview for Confusion Assessment Method (3D-CAM)
Measured: Within 24 hours post operative
Number of participants developing orthostatic intolerance
Number of participants who develop symptoms of orthostatic intolerance such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, or syncope, during mobilization
Measured: Within 24 hours post operative
Quality of recovery
Quality of recovery assessed with the Quality of recovery-15 (QoR-15) ranging from 0 (extremely poor quality of recovery) to 150 (excellent quality of recovery), and sub-scores (physical comfort 0-50, emotional state 0-40, psychological support 0-20, physical independence 0-20 and pain 0-20).
Measured: Day 1
Number of participants developing pressure ulcer
Number of participants who develop pressure ulcers, assessed using Pressure Ulcer Classification System (stage 1, stage 2, stage 3, and stage 4)
Measured: Within 48 hours post operative

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Early mobilization in people with Pacemaker and Defibrillators, Implantable, run by Caporali Elena at 1 site in Switzerland.
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 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Oct 2026. 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 Switzerland. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Terminated due to lower-than-expected enrollment. No safety concerns contributed to this decision.). Results are not available in the source record.
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?
Composite endpoint: pacing lead dislodgement, pocket hematoma, pneumothorax, and pericardial effusion (time frame: Within 48 hours post operative). 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 8 Oct 2026.
