Study of Safety and Efficacy on Neuromyopathy of Early Standing With the Assistance of Tilt Table in Critically Patients

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Patients Are Recruited From One Thoracic and Cardiac Surgery ICU
Interventions
Device: standing table group
Device: the standard physiotherapy group
Registration Number
NCT02047617
Lead Sponsor
Centre Chirurgical Marie Lannelongue
Brief Summary

Critically ill patients frequently develop muscle weakness due to critical illness-related acute neuropathy and/or myopathy. This disorder is associated with difficulties in weaning from mechanical ventilation, prolonged intensive care unit and hospital stay, and increased mortality rates. In addition, many patients continue to suffer from decreased exercise capacity and quality of life for months to years after the acute event.

Besides controlling risk factors, no specific prevention or treatment exists. Recommendations advice to start early with active and passive exercise in critically ill patients (1). Having critically ill patients alert and engaged in progressive rehabilitation leading to mobilization, despite the use of life support therapies may reduce muscle atrophy and lead to improved strength and physical function (2).

This randomized controlled trial was designed to investigate whether a daily training session using a tilt table, started early in stable critically ill patients with an expected prolonged ICU stay, could induce a beneficial effect on exercise performance, quadriceps force and functional autonomy at ICU and hospital discharge compared to a standard physiotherapy program.

GroupInterventionDescription
standing table groupstanding table groupThe same program as standard physiotherapy group is applied, with daily sessions of standing table in supplement. Standing table was performed on a motorized tilt table (ref: table de verticalisation, Franco\&fils). The protocol involved a stepwise process to gradually raise the subject into a standing position on the standing table platform, at 10° intervals from 30° to 80°.
the standard physiotherapy groupthe standard physiotherapy groupPhysiotherapy rehabilitation techniques used in the management of this group include passive range of motion, active range of motion/bed exercises, sitting at edge of bed, sitting in armchair, active transfer from the bed to chair. Mobilization and rehabilitation program is progressively introduced after clinical stabilization with a goal of progressing to ambulation and pulmonary rehabilitation.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Measure of overall muscle strength, a composite Medical Research Council score (MRC score) from examination of 3 muscle groups in each limb is used.Medical Research Council, the patient is monitored and evaluate for up to 1 month

Clinically important muscle weakness has been defined as a composite MRC score \<80% of normal (eg, a score \<48 out of a maximum of 60 based on examination of 3 muscle groups in each limb).

MRC score is measured after randomization, before ICU discharge and before hospital discharge.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod

Hospital stayduration (day number), the patient is monitored and evaluate for up to 1 month
Mechanical ventilation durationtime in minutes (every day), the patient is monitored and evaluate for up to 1 month

This secondary endpoint is measured every day until the leaving of ICU and continued until leaving the hospital.
