Background. Critical care societies recommend early mobilization (EM) as standard practice in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting. However, there is limited randomized controlled trial (RCT) evidence supporting EM’s effectiveness. Our objective was to identify ongoing or completed RCTs assessing EM’s effectiveness in the ICU. Method. We searched ClinicalTrials.gov and the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry for ongoing or completed but not published RCTs in an ICU setting with objective outcome measures. Results. There were 14 RCTs included in the analysis. All studies were in the general or mixed ICU setting (N=14). Half of the studies (N=7) were small RCTs (<100 projected participants) and half (N=7) were medium-sized RCTs (100–999 participants). Inclusion criteria included mechanical ventilation use or expected use (N=13) and prehospital functional status (N=7). Primary EM interventions were standard physiotherapist-based activities (N=4), cycling (N=9), and electrical muscle stimulation (N=1). Only one study involved nurse-led EM. The most common assessment tool was the 6-minute walk test (N=6). Primary outcome measures were physiological (N=3), clinical (N=3), patient-centered (N=7), and healthcare resource use (N=1). Most studies (N=8) involved post-ICU follow-up measures up to 1-year posthospitalization. There were no studies targeting older adults or people with acute cardiac disease. Conclusion. Identified studies will further the evidence base for EM’s effectiveness. There is a need for studies looking at specific patient populations that may benefit from EM, such as older adults and cardiac patients, as well as for novel EM delivery strategies, such as nurse-led EM.

Abstract Background The prognosis of intensive care unit acquired weakness (ICUAW) is poor and the treatment effect is not ideal. At present, some effective and safe early prevention means are urgently needed to reduce its incidence.This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of early activities or rehabilitation in the prevention of ICUAW. Methods We searched for articles in five electronic databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang Med Online. All publications until June, 2020 were searched. We have selected trials investigating early mobilization or rehabilitation as compared to standard of care in critically ill adults.The extracted data included adverse events, the number of patients with ICUAW, the length of stay in the ICU (ICU-LOS) the length of mechanical ventilation (MV) etc. Results The final results showed that compared with the usual care group, early mobilization or rehabilitation reduced the prevalence of ICUAW (RR, 0.73; [0.61, 0.87]; I2 = 44%; P = 0.0006), ICU-LOS (MD, − 1.47;[2.83, 0.10]; I2 = 56%; P = 0.04), length of MV (MD, − 1.96; [2.41, 1.51]; I2 = 0%; P = 0.00001), but the mortality (RR, 0.90; [0.62, 1.32]; I2 = 3%; P = 0.60) at ICU discharge was not associated. The subgroup analysis of ICUAW prevalence and ICU-LOS based on the intervention methods showed that early combined rehabilitation could reduce the prevalence of ICUAW (RR, 0.56; [0.43, 0.74]; I2 = 34%; P = 0.0001) and shorten the ICU-LOS (MD, − 2.21; [3.28, 0.97]; I2 = 23%; P = 0.0003). EGDM was not associated with a decrease in ICUAW prevalence (RR, 0.85; [0.65, 1.09]; I2 = 26%; P = 0.20), but it reduced the ICU-LOS (MD, − 2.27; [3.86, 0.68]; I2 = 0%; P = 0.005).Early in-bed cycling was not associated with reduced ICUAW prevalence(RR, 1.25; [0.73, 2.13]; I2 = 0%; P = 0.41) and ICU-LOS(MD, 2.27; [0.27, 4.80]; I2 = 0%; P = 0.08) . Conclusions Early mobilization or rehabilitation was associated with a shorter length of MV and ICU-LOS, but not mortality. Of course, not all early activities or forms of rehabilitation are effective. The early combined rehabilitation model is effective for the prevention of ICUAW. However, EGDM and early in-bed cycling were not effective in preventing ICUAW.
