No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate whether an eCASH concept-based analgesia and sedation strategy combined with early goal-directed mobilization can reduce the incidence of intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) in mechanically ventilated ICU patients. A total of 70 adult patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the intervention group or the control group. The intervention group will receive routine ICU nursing care plus an eCASH-based analgesia and sedation strategy combined with early goal-directed mobilization, while the control group will receive routine ICU nursing care. The primary outcome is the incidence of ICU-AW. Secondary outcomes include total doses of remifentanil and midazolam, respiratory function after extubation, duration of mechanical ventilation, and adverse events.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

eCASH-Based Analgesia and Sedation Strategy Combined With Early Goal-Directed Mobilization

This intervention consists of routine ICU nursing care plus an eCASH concept-based analgesia and sedation strategy combined with early goal-directed mobilization. The eCASH strategy includes early combined intervention, promotion of patient comfort, analgesia-first management, minimization of sedative exposure, and humanistic care. Early goal-directed mobilization is individualized according to the patient's clinical condition, functional status, and tolerance, and may include passive or active limb exercises, balance training, bedside cycling exercise, and transcutaneous electrical stimulation.

BEHAVIORAL

Routine ICU Nursing Care

Routine ICU nursing care includes routine analgesia and sedation management, monitoring of vital signs, assessment of consciousness and analgesia/sedation status, feedback to the attending physician for medication adjustment, muscle strength assessment, regular turning, sputum suction, airway and tube care, skin care, psychological support, and early activity after clinical stabilization.
