Brief Summary

Prolonged critical illness renders survivors with increased long-term morbidity associated with high healthcare costs. Muscle weakness and fatigue are reported as the main contributors to long-term poor functional outcomes. Emerging evidence for early mobilisation demonstrates reduction in the number of ventilator days and hospital length of stay. It has been demonstrated that daytime motoring (passive and active) can improve functional capacity in intensive care patients. The aim of the proposed study is to evaluate the effect of cycling exercise in patients on mechanical ventilation appointed to weaning process.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of ventilator days

    The influence of cycling exercises on the number of ventilator days will be assessed in the patients. The number of ventilator days will be compared in both groups of patients.

    43 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Muscle strength

    43 months

Study Arms (2)

Cycling Exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients randomized into this arm will undergo cycling exercise once a day while on mechanical ventilation at intensive care unit.

Other: Cycling ExerciseOther: Conventional Physiotherapy

Conventional Physiotherapy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients randomized into this arm will undergo conventional physiotherapy twice a day while on mechanical ventilation at intensive care unit.

Other: Conventional Physiotherapy

Interventions

Cycling exercise will be performed in the patients once a day.
