Brief Summary

This observational study aims to describe the number of rehabilitation procedures performed per patient during their stay in French-speaking adult intensive care units undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation (average rehabilitation ratio). The study aims to determine the actual rehabilitation ratio, i.e. the number of rehabilitation procedures divided by the number of critical care hospital days (censored at day 28 from the start of invasive mechanical ventilation), provided to patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation. The rehabilitation procedure will remain the same, and ICU teams will only record the number of procedures performed per day.
