INTRODUCTION: Prolonged immobility in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) can lead to muscle wasting and weakness, longer hospital stays, increased number of days in restraints, and hospital-acquired infections. Increasing evidence demonstrates the safety and feasibility of early mobilization in the ICU. However, there is a lack of evidence in the safety and feasibility of mobilizing patients with external ventricular drains (EVDs). The purpose of this study was to determine the safety and feasibility of early mobility in this patient population.
METHODS: We conducted a prospective, observational study. All patients in the study were managed with standard protocols and procedures practiced in our ICU including early mobility. Patients with an EVD who received early mobilization were awake and following commands, had a Lindegaard ratio <3.0 or middle cerebral artery (MCA) mean flow velocity <120 cm/s, a Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) > 80 mm Hg, and an intracranial pressure consistently <20 mm Hg. Data were collected by physical therapists at the time of encounter.
RESULTS: Ninety patients with a total of 185 patient encounters were recorded over a 12-month period. The average time between EVD placement and physical therapy (PT) session was 8.3 ± 5.5 days. In 149 (81%) encounters, patients were at least standing or better. Patients were walking with assistance or better in 99 (54%) encounters. There were 4 (2.2%) adverse events recorded during the entire study.
CONCLUSION: This observational study suggests that PT is feasible in patients with EVDs and can be safely tolerated. Further research is warranted in a larger patient population conducted prospectively to assess the potential benefit of early mobility in this patient population.
