This is a very interesting chat I had with Dr Bronwen Connolly who is a Consultant Clinical research Physiotherapist and an NIHR post-doctoral research fellow about early mobilisation in the critical care.
She was asked to present at the ICS SOA 2016 to summarise key evidence published in 2016 examining physical rehabilitation in critical illness and also consider methodological trial design features in interpretation of results.
It would seem from the discussion that one of the main problems with the research is that there is no agreement on the end points which should be measured.
Some of the papers discussed were:
Early, goal-directed mobilisation in the surgical intensive care unit: a randomised controlled trial
Interview Questions for Advanced Critical Care Practitioners
