Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  8. Days of Delirium [during ICU stay (normally up to 30 days)]

    Days of Delirium during ICU stay

  9. MRC Score [One time point before ICU Discharge]

    MRC Score at ICU Discharge

  10. Muscle wasting [5 days]

    Muscle wasting assessed using ultrasound measurement of the M. femoris

  11. Number of Health care provider [5 days]

    Number of Health care provider needed for mobilization

  12. Mortality [at 180 days after study start]

    Mortality during ICU and Hospital stay and 180 days after admission at ICU

  13. Length of stay [Hospital stay (approx. 30 days)]

    Length of stay at ICU , in Hospital (in days)

  14. Global function [at 180 days after study start]

    Global function measured with WHODAS

  15. Health care provider assessment [5 days]

    Assessment of the satisfaction with the mobilization by the health care provider using Likert-Scales (1-5)

  16. Safety events [5 days after study start]

    Frequency of safety events during mobilization

  17. Functional status [at 180 days after study start]

    Measurement of ADLs/IADLs for which patients need assistance

  18. DRG workplace data [Hospital stay (approx. 30 days)]

    expenses of the hospital stay
