NCT03196960

Brief Summary

The primary aim of this study is to assess if the mobility dose that patients receive in the surgical intensive care unit (SICU) predicts adverse discharge disposition (primary endpoint), and muscle wasting diagnosed by bedside ultrasound (secondary endpoint).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Adverse Hospital Discharge Disposition

    Adverse hospital discharge is defined as discharge to facilities providing long-term care assistance for daily activities, including nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities, hospice at the patient's home, hospice in a health care facility, or in-hospital mortality.

    Patient will be followed until hospital discharge, an expected 3 to 30 days

Secondary Outcomes (15)

  • Rectus Femoris Muscle Cross Sectional Area

    Rectus femoris cross sectional area will be measured twice, at enrollment and day of ICU discharge, an expected 3 to 30 days.

  • Mobility Dose as measured by the Mobilization Quantification Score (MQS)

    Patients will be followed until SICU discharge, an expected 3 to 30 days.

  • Abbreviated Functional independence measure (FIM) score at Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) discharge and hospital discharge

    Patients will be followed until hospital discharge an expected 3 to 40 days.

  • SICU length of stay

    Patients will be followed until SICU discharge, an expected 3 to 30 days.

  • Hospital length of stay

    Patients will be followed until hospital discharge an expected 3 to 40 days.

  • +10 more secondary outcomes
