Why EMP? • Survival following critical illness is often associated with a poor functional outcome Herridge et al 2011 NEJM: 364;1293-304 • The combined effects of reduced sedation and physical activity are safe, well tolerated Schweickert et al 2009 Lancet: 373:1874-82 • Early mobilisation is defined as occuring within the first 2-5 days of admission, but barriers to this are often reported • Hodgson et al 2013 Crit Care: 17:207
What did we ask for? • Small investment • Staff • Equipment
How did we do it? Inclusion • Acute medical patients • <72 hours I&V • Expected to remain I&V >24hours • Functionally independent prior to admission (+/- aid) Intervention • Strict sedation protocol- minimal sedation at all times • 2x 30 minute additional therapy sessions per day
Clinical outcome data for ICU survivors enrolled in the QI project (Pre-QI data is included for comparison) Data are expressed as mean (standard deviation), unless otherwise indicated.
In summary • Its not rocket science! • Investment / savings • Safe • Promotes therapists as being leaders in Rehabilitation • It’s the right thing to do
