Detailed Description
Currently there is no standardised way of obtaining details about a patients pre-admission level of function. the process of gaining this history is often done by several different people with no standard questions asked.
There is also a need to be able to measure what happens to patients after they leave ICU, and compare their abilities to preadmission status.
This feasibility study will aim to investigate:
-
the time taken to train the physiotherapy team in the use of the outcome measure
-
the ability to obtain pre admission functional status from patients/friend/relative on admission to ICU
-
the ability to follow patients up at 6 months post discharge with re-assessment of the outcome measure
