Association of the mobility level of critically ill adult patients with the success of extubation: protocol for a cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Several factors contribute to the reduction of the mobility in ICU), such as the use of sedatives, severity, invasive devices, acute clinical instability, lack of resources, the culture of immobility, architectural barriers and the own weakness developed in the ICU. The need for ventilatory support is common in most of patients, and weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV) is an arduous process that requires the commitment of the entire team. Instruments that objectively assess the mobility of patients admitted to the ICU can be useful to identify the existence or not of an association between mobility and prognosis.

Objective

To estimate the association between the level of mobility and successful extubation.

Methods and analysis

Prospective cohort study
