Systematic Team Approach to Guide Early Mobilization in Surgical Intensive Care Unit Patients

NCT01363102 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 200

Summary

The investigators hypothesize that by applying a validated algorithm to accomplish early mobilization in surgical intensive care unit (ICU) patients, these patients will achieve a higher level of mobility which translates to shorter ICU length of stay and improved functional status at discharge. Additionally, the investigators hypothesize that genetic polymorphisms related to muscle strength and sleep will also explain some variance in these outcome variables.
