Detailed Description
This study compares the impact of early multimodal therapy on mechanical ventilation duration in ICU patients. It is an open-label, randomized controlled clinical trial. Patients will be assigned to either early multimodal therapy or standard therapy (control) in a 1:1 ratio. Blinding is not possible due to the study design. The analysis will follow an intention-to-treat approach. The hypothesis is that early multimodal therapy reduces mechanical ventilation duration
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Active Comparator: Early arm Early multimodal therapy is characterized by a comprehensive set of therapeutic interventions executed by the physiotherapy, speech therapy, respiratory therapy, and occupational therapy teams precisely at the moment of study inclusion. This tailored approach ensures that patients receive a coordinated and multidisciplinary therapeutic regimen right from the outset of their participation in the study |
Procedure: Early Multimodal Therapy
Early multimodal therapy is defined as the collection of therapeutic maneuvers performed by the physiotherapy, speech therapy, respiratory therapy, and occupational therapy team at the time of study inclusion.
|
| Active Comparator: Late arm While late multimodal therapy is characterized by the same type of maneuvers carried out by the same disciplinary team but initiated once indicated by the attending physician. |
Procedure: Late Multimodal Therapy
Late multimodal therapy is characterized by the same set of maneuvers carried out by the same disciplinary team, but it is initiated once indicated by the attending physician.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Time (days) from intubation to extubation. [28 days]
Days of mechanical ventilation duration
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Ventilator-free days until day 28 [28 days]
28 minus the days of mechanical ventilation
- Delirium days until day 28 [28 days]
In order for a patient to be considered to have delirium according to the CAM-ICU, the first criterion (acute change in mental status) must be present, along with at least one of the other three criteria (inability to maintain sustained attention, disorganized thinking, or fluctuating levels of consciousness).
- Delirium-free days until day 28 [28 days]
28 minus days with presence of delirium
- Sedation days until day 28. [28 days]
Sedation days until day 28.
- Sedation-free days until day 28 [28 days]
28 days minus days of sedation
- Barthel Index at hospital discharge [90 days]
The Barthel Index is a scale used to measure the degree of functional independence in activities of daily living (ADLs) for an individual. The score is 0 if the patient deceases.
- Hospitalization days [90 days]
Hospitalization days
- ICU length of stay [28 days]
ICU length of stay
- Mortality from any cause up to 90 days [90 days]
Mortality from any cause up to 90 days
- Functional independence status measured by ADLs at hospital discharge [90 days]
Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), each variable scores one point: bathing, dressing, eating, grooming, transferring from bed to chair, and using the bathroom
- Functional independence status measured by ADLs at ICU discharge [28 days]
Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), each variable scores one point: bathing, dressing, eating, grooming, transferring from bed to chair, and using the bathroom
- Muscle strength measured using the Medical Research Council (MRC) scale [28 days]
Muscle strength assessment in critical care patients using the Medical Research Council (MRC) scale: 5: Normal - Full range of motion against total resistance 4+: Good (+) - Full range of motion against gravity and strong resistance 4: Good (-) - Full range of motion against gravity and minimal resistance 3+: Fair (+) - Full range of motion against gravity only 3: Fair (-) - Partial range of motion against gravity 2: Poor - Movement with gravity eliminated 1: Minimal - Visible muscle contraction without movement 0: Absent - Total paralysis
- Swallowing difficulty at 72 hours. [28 days]
Presence of dysphagia at 72 hours after extubation
- Time until the initiation of oral intake [28 days]
Time to initiate oral intake after extubation: 1) 12-24 hours, 2) > 24 hours
- Development of healthcare-associated pneumonia [28 days]
Pneumonia associated with invasive mechanical ventilation. Yes or no.
- Maximum mobility measured by JH-HLM (Johns Hopkins Highest Level of Mobility) scale [28 days]
Mobility assessment using the JH-HLM (Johns Hopkins Highest Level of Mobility) scale: 8: Walks more than 250 feet. 7: Walks more than 25 feet. 6: Walks more than 10 steps. 5: Stands for more than one minute. 4: Can move to the chair. 3: Can sit on the edge of the bed. 2: Can turn in bed. 1: Can only lie down. Score is 0 if the patient deceases.
- Grip strength [28 days]
Grip strength of the dominant hand within 24 hours post-extubation. Kilograms. Score is 0 if the patient deceases
- Extubation failure [28 days]
Inability to breathe spontaneously in the first 48 hours after removal of artificial airway, and the patient is unable to maintain a patent airway
- Need for non-invasive mechanical ventilation [28 days]
Need for non-invasive mechanical ventilation: Yes or No
- Cognitive function measured using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA). [90 days]
The variable is the cognitive function, assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA). This tool measures various cognitive domains, providing insight into an individual's cognitive abilities and identifying potential cognitive impairment
