To study all ICU patients with an independent baseline functional status , who experience a
critical illness requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation evaluating long-term
cognitive and executive function and long term cost effectiveness in survivors who required
mechanical ventilation.
critical illness requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation evaluating long-term
cognitive and executive function and long term cost effectiveness in survivors who required
mechanical ventilation.
Immediate mobilization of mechanically ventilated (MV) ICU patients is not part of usual care
in the U.S. or internationally. Our previous work supports that early mobilization through
physical and occupational therapy for ICU patients on the ventilator can help them experience
less delirium, spend less time in the ICU and hospital, and become more independent when they
leave. To advance our knowledge in this area, large longitudinal studies are needed to
understand the long-term physical, cognitive and mental health status of survivors and to
test how specific ICU therapies may affect these outcomes.
