Brief Summary:
This is an observational study exploring the levels of mobility and rehabilitation in patients admitted to critical care with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
COVID-19 Critical Illness Ards ICU Acquired Weakness Other: Physiotherapy

Detailed Description:
An admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) often results in significant muscle weakness and physical deconditioning, which can take many months or even years for recovery. Early and progressive programmes of rehabilitation are recommended to limit any muscle loss and support recovery as early as possible. Patients admitted to intensive care with COVID-19 have been found to require prolonged periods of mechanical ventilation, high sedation and neuromuscular blocking use and as a result require prolonged stays in the ICU. As yet no data exists to examine the specific physical impact this may have, or whether it is safe and feasible to commence this earlier rehabilitation within the ICU for patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19. Our study set out to evaluate the levels of rehabilitation which were delivered in a large acute NHS trust.

Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Mobility level [ Time Frame: At ICU discharge, an average of 3 weeks ]
    Highest level of mobility achieved at the point of ICU discharge

  2. Time taken to first mobilise [ Time Frame: during ICU admission, up to 3 weeks ]
    Time taken to first mobilise, defined as sitting on the edge of the bed or higher


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Discharge location [ Time Frame: Hospital discharge, up to 2 months ]
    Discharged to home, home with rehab, or a community rehab facility
