Abstract:

Objective To explore the effect of early individualized rehabilitation on patients with severe mechanical ventilation. Methods A total of 36 patients on mechanical ventilation admitted to the ICU of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from March, 2019 to February, 2020 were randomly divided into control group (n = 18) and rehabilitation group (n = 18). All the patients completed a rehabilitation assessment within 24 hours of admission, including clinical assessment, state of consciousness and muscle strength assessment. The control group was treated with intensive care routine treatment, including symptomatic treatment of primary disease, nutritional support, placement of normal limbs, active and passive movement of limbs. The rehabilitation group received early individualized rehabilitation in addition., including active and passive limb movements, transfer training, physical factor therapy, and respiratory muscle training after the specific evaluation. The mechanical ventilation duration and ICU length of stay, the hospitalization cost, Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale (RASS), acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ), and the content of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 were compared. Results There was no significant difference in the weaning rate and hospitalization cost between two groups (P > 0.05). The mechanical ventilation duration and ICU length of stay were less in the rehabilitation group than in the control group (t > 2.067, P < 0.05). After treatment, the score of APACHEⅡ and the content of TNF-α and IL-6 decreased in the control group (t > 2.040, P < 0.05); the score of APACHEⅡ and the content of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 decreased in the rehabilitation group (t > 4.141, P < 0.001); the content of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 was less in the rehabilitation group than in the control group (t > 2.217, P < 0.05). The improvement of all the indexes was better in the rehabilitation group than in the control group (|Z| > 2.104, P < 0.05). Conclusion For patients on mechanical ventilation, early individualized rehabilitation could improve the sedation, relieve the inflammatory reaction, accelerate the process of weaning, and reduce the length of stay with no extra cost.
