Brief Summary

Weaning from mechanical ventilator is essential to liberate patients to normal life. Prolong weaning is defined as failure of 3 times spontaneous breath trial (SBT) and requiring more than 7 days weaning from mechanical ventilation after first SBT. higher unsuccessful rate of extubation and higher mortality rate. Possible reasons to cause prolong weaning could be attributed to intensive care unit acquired weakness (ICU-AW) and poor lung hygiene. In order to solve these two problems and increase the weaning rate, early mobilization (EM) and chest physiotherapy (CPT) are considered as possible strategy to attain the goal. According to previous articles, lacking of control group and small sample size made it difficult to confirm the true effect of EM and CPT on prolong weaning patients. Thus, the aims of this articles are discussing the influence from EM with CPT on weaning rate and other hospitalization outcomes with larger sample sizes and control group.

Early mobilization plus chest physiotherapyEarly mobilization plus chest physiotherapyPhysiotherapy program comprised two parts early mobilization and CPT. They could be divided into different levels depended on patients' ability. In terms of the levels of early mobilization, first level was defined as patients who could only receive passive patterns of exercise. Second level would be executed to patient who could only take exercise on the bed or with back support. Third level would be implemented when patients could advance to receive physiotherapy beside the bed without support. The eventual level would be conducted when patients was able to leave beds by their own. In line with chest physiotherapy, level I was defined as patients who could only receive passive lung hygiene protocol. Level II would be executed when patient can control their breath and cough by their own. Level III would be implemented when patient can maintain their body steadily and finish the chest physiotherapy protocol.
