Abstract:

 
Aims & Objectives:
Early mobilization and rehabilitation improves long-term functional outcome in adult intensive care unit (ICU) survivors, but has not been evaluated in children.The objective of this pilot trials is to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a multi-centre randomized controlled trial (RCT), evaluating the efficacy of early in-bed cycling in addition to usual care physiotherapy, compared to usual care physiotherapy alone, on functional recovery in critically ill children.
 
Methods
Children aged 3 to 18 years admittedto the PICU at McMaster Children’s Hospital who were limited to bed-rest/bed mobility, not at their baseline function, were haemodynamically stable and had no contraindication to mobilization, were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to early in-bed cycling (within 24 hours of enrolment) vs. usual care physiotherapy.In-bed cycling is applied for 30 minutes daily during weekdays, for a maximumof 7 days, or till baseline functional mobility was achieved for 2 consecutive days.Primary outcomes were feasibility and protocol adherence. Target sample size is 30, over 12 months. Secondary outcomes are functional outcome at 1 month and PICU related morbidities.
 
Results
A total of 21patients were enrolled between September 2015 to June 2016; 14 to the cycling arm and 7 to usual care. To date, our consent rate is 95.5% and 1-month follow-up rate is100%. The median time to intervention after consent is 2.5 hrs (minimum 0.5hr, maximum 20hr) for intervention arm ( In-bed cycling). The median time to physiotherapy after consent is 20 hr (minimum 0.2hr hr, maximum 288h) for control arm ( physiotherapy alone).
37 cycling sessions have been applied out of 67 planned cycling sessions.30 session were not conducted either because of presence of contraindications to cycling (9,30%), patient or parent refusal (7, 23%) or research personnel were not available ( 14,47%).
 There were no adverse events attributed to cycling intervention during study period.
 
Conclusions
To date, our result suggests that enrolment into this RCT and initiation of mobilization within 24 hr of randomization is feasible. We anticipate completion of enrolment in 4 months. The main threat to feasibility is availability of research personnel to execute cycling.
