An observational feasibility study - does early limb ergometry affect oxygen delivery and uptake in intubated critically ill patients – a comparison of two assessment methods

An observational feasibility study - does early limb ergometry affect oxygen delivery and uptake in intubated critically ill patients – a comparison of two assessment methods

Abstract Background Early rehabilitation can reduce ventilation duration and improve functional outcomes in critically ill patients. Upper limb strength is associated with ventilator weaning. Passive muscle loading may preserve muscle fibre function, help recover peripheral muscle strength and impro...
