Article Synopsis
- Intensive care unit-acquired weakness is a common complication that negatively impacts patients' recovery during and after hospital stays.
- A clinical trial assessed a multi-component early mobility protocol compared to standard care in ICU patients, focusing on pain control and delirium prevention.
- Results showed that the intervention group had significantly less muscle weakness and better mobility scores at discharge, although there were no notable differences in ventilation-free days or mortality rates.
Unlabelled: We conducted a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of crystalloids in preventing spinal-induced hypotension (SIH) and cardiovascular side effects (CVSE) in a group of surgical patients. Participants were assigned to receive lactated Ringer's solution at 1-2 mL/min (Placebo group, n = 142); lactated Ringer's at 20 mL/kg starting 20 min before spinal block (n = 130); or lactated Ringer's at 20 mL/kg starting at the time of spinal block (n = 132). SIH was defined as a decrease of > or = 30% in baseline systolic blood pressure, and CVSE as SIH plus nausea, vomiting, or faintness requiring treatment.
