- Early rehabilitation for critically ill patients with ICU-acquired weakness: a quasi-experimental studyPublication . Matos, Tânia dos Santos; Martins, Jacinta Pires; Félix, AndreiaBackground: Intensive care unit-acquired weakness is a severe complication, and early rehabilitation can improve health outcomes in critically ill patients. Objective: To examine the health outcomes sensitive to rehabilitation nursing care in critically ill patients diagnosed with intensive care unit-acquired weakness. Methodology: This quasi-experimental study uses a non-probability sample of 80 patients distributed between an experimental group and a control group. The groups received the same rehabilitation nursing care intervention, differing only in the number and frequency of implementation due to the different time intervals of each group. Results: EG participants revealed a greater functional independence in the transfer, greater muscle strength at the moment of discharge, decreased mean number of days under sedation, receiving invasive mechanical ventilation and of hospitalization, and lower scores in the Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System-28 at the moment of discharge. Conclusion: The increased number and frequency of rehabilitation nursing care interventions improved health outcomes in critically ill patients.
- Early rehabilitation in the critically ill patient: a case reportPublication . Matos, Tânia dos Santos; Vilela, Ana Sofia Barbosa; Lopes, Joana Isabel Moura; Martins, Jacinta Pires; Félix, Andreia Filipa de SousaObjective: To describe the effects of an early mobilization program in a critically ill patient with acquired muscle weakness in the intensive care unit (AMWICU). Methods: Case report of a 65-year-old male diagnosed with pneumoperitoneum, septic shock, and multiple organ dysfunction. The patient underwent an early mobilization program between 13th and 30th of June 2022, based on expert consensus on safety criteria for mobilization in critically ill patients. The intervention was delivered by a rehabilitation nursing team. Results: The early mobilization program contributed to improvements in muscle strength, body mobility, and functional independence in the critically ill patient. Conclusions: Although there is no consensus on the ideal type, timing, or intensity of early mobilization in critically ill patients, this case study suggests that individualized early mobilization may promote functional recovery and should be considered in intensive care settings.
