The Face

Introduction: The functional benefits of Early Mobilization (EM) capable of minimizing limitations and deformities in the face of immobility are clear, but there are many barriers to conduct EM as a routine practice in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), including the use of vasoactive drugs (VAD), since it is directly related to weakness acquired in the ICU, in addition to the resistance of the multidisciplinary team to mobilize the patient using VAD. Objective: The objective of this literature review is to raise a scientific basis in the management of critically ill patients using DVAs for EM in the ICU. Methods: It is an integrative review of the literature, with research in the databases: PEDro, Pubmed, Lilacs, with articles published between 2011 and 2018, in Portuguese and English, using the terms: vasoactive drugs, early mobility, exercise in UCI, vasopressor and its equivalents in Portuguese. Results: Nine studies were included that analyzed the EM intervention in patients using VAD, with or without ventilatory support. There was no homogeneous treatment among the researched works, varying between exercises in bed and outside, with passive and / or active action. However, regardless of the conduct, there was an improvement in the cardiovascular response without relevant changes regarding the use of VAD. Conclusion: EM is not contraindicated for patients in the ICU with the use of VAD, and it was shown to be effective and safe without promoting relevant hemodynamic and cardiorespiratory changes, which would determine its absolute contraindication.Keywords: vasodilator agents, early ambulation, intensive care units, physical therapy specialty.

Diaphyseal Fractures

The management of tibial diaphyseal fractures has always held a particular interest for orthopedic surgeons. Not only they are relatively common but also they are often difficult to treat. This prospective study was carried out at Rangpur from April 2008 to November 2009. 34 patients were treated by closed interlocking intramedullary nail. Goal of this study was to find out a safe & effective management of fracture, early mobility of patient, functional joint motion and short stay in hospital. Routine follow up was carried out in 29 patients. In 24 cases, fracture (81.76%) were united, 4 cases (13.79%) needed dynamisation with autogenous bone grafting and 1 case devoloped non union. Study showed interlocking nailing in tibia provides early mobility of patients, reduces hospital stay and fracture unites without joint stiffness and less complication.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bmjk.v44i1-2.10470Bang Med J (Khulna) 2011: 44(1&2) 15-17

And Function

Chapter 27 discusses fracture fixation. Although many fractures are managed nonoperatively, others require various forms of surgical intervention. Fracture fixation can be conservative or surgical. The goal is to stabilize the fractured bone, enable fast healing, and return early mobility and function of the injured extremity. Orthopedic hardware permits stabilization of the fractured bone, expediting healing and early mobility. Percutaneous pins and wires can be used to apply traction to a fracture. External and internal fixation are used when more advanced operative intervention is required and encompass external fixator devices, pins/wires, screws, plates, and intramedullary nails/rods. Hardware is unfortunately susceptible to complication, including loosening, migration, fracture, and infection.

Abcde Bundle

Prolonged mechanical ventilation of patients in intensive care units across the United States consumes billions of health care dollars every year. Using the awakening and breathing coordination, delirium monitoring/management, and early mobility (ABCDE) bundle along with the Critical-Care Pain Observation Tool and the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale combines the best available evidence to optimize outcomes for critically ill patients. This study is the first to examine the effects of implementing the ABCDE bundle, the Critical-Care Pain Observation Tool, and the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale together in a coordinated effort across multiple disciplines. The aim of using this combination of evidence-based tools is to reduce ventilation time by reducing oversedation, decreasing the incidence of delirium, and improving pain management.

Abstract Introduction Burn injuries often result in functional mobility impairments limiting return to pre-burn activity. Early mobility within 24 hours of admission is recommended to minimize risks of joint and soft tissue contractures while promoting functional independence. To maximize these services, burn therapists undergo annual competency education to evaluate, develop a plan of care, and treat burn patients. Designated burn therapy staff coverage is often not 24/7 resulting in delayed times to early interventions. We identified a need to provide education within the therapy department specifically addressing burn rehab interventions. Methods An in-service presentation introducing Cutaneous Function Units (CFU) as a new functional assessment tool was developed and presented to the therapy department. An 8 question test was administered before and after the presentation to assess staff retention and application of learned techniques. A total of 15 therapist, both occupational and physical, attended the presentation with the results of the tests analyzed. Results Pre-test average scores were 73% with post-test average improved to 95%. Therapist learned 2 additional methods of assessing burn wounds. After analyzing the test results, we were able to identify specific areas that required further education. We used the pre- and post- test results to tailor further educational sessions focusing on hands-on education and small focus groups. Conclusions Despite annual burn rehab competencies with therapy staff, there continues to be a deficit in retention of education. This may result in delay of early mobility and burn rehab services in our burn population. With focused education tailored to specific areas of burn therapy competencies, we were able to impact burn patient therapy sessions. Applicability of Research to Practice Ongoing education can be tailored to specific ares of burn therapy competencies to improve overall patient outcomes.
