Trial Review

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The three interventions, respectively, will be as follows (n = 10 each group):

1.Non-responsive patients (not able to participate)
Five positions, 4 minutes each position.
i.Supine
ii.Hip flexion to 45 degrees, sustained
iii.Supine
iv.Hip flexion to 45 degrees, repeated movements
v.Supine

2.Low-level participants (unable to stand but participating)
Five positions, 4 minutes each position
i.Supine
ii.Hip flexion to 45 degrees, repeated movements
iii.Supine
iv.SOEOB (Sit On Edge Of the Bed) (if able)
v.Supine

3.High-level participants (able to stand with assistance)
Five positions, 4 minutes each position
i.Supine
ii.Standing
iii.MOS (Marching On the Spot)
iv.SOEOB (Sit On Edge Of the Bed)
v.Supine

4. An additional group of 10 participants who have internal jugular or sub-clavian vascaths will also be included (five low-level participants will undergo the low-level intervention and five high-level participants will undergo the high-level intervention).

The intervention duration will be 20 minutes each session.

The intervention will be delivered to each participant individually by trained physiotherapist(s).

Each participant will undergo the intervention session once as a part of the study.

Comparator / control treatment
Baseline data from routine care will be recorded for 20 patients across the two sites on the same primary outcomes of the intervention group.

Comparisons will be made within subjects as well as against baseline data.
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 266762 0
Adverse events
(Bleeding, haematoma, bruising, thrombotic complications, catheter dislodgement, other)
Timepoint [1] 266762 0
Ongoing monitoring for adverse events from time of intervention up to 3 filters later
Primary outcome [2] 266869 0
Filter life
Filter life time will be measured in hours of duration of continuous renal replacement therapy, filter life time end when system clots or is removed. Reason for cessation of filtration will be recorded (e.g. elective removal vs. clotting of circuit).
Timepoint [2] 266869 0
At time of intervention
Secondary outcome [1] 276332 0
CVVHDF (continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration) parameters
Pre-intervention parameters will be copied from nursing observational chart
During intervention, parameters will be read from the machine and recorded minutely
Post-intervention parameters will be copied from nursing observational chart
Timepoint [1] 276332 0
Hourly for 24 hours before intervention
Minutely during intervention
Hourly for next 3 filters
Secondary outcome [2] 276334 0

Timepoint [3] 276335 0
for 3 filters after intervention
Secondary outcome [4] 276336 0
Nursing workload measured by survey given to nursing staff at baseline, during interventional shift and during shift following interventional shift.
Timepoint [4] 276336 0
At baseline, during interventional shift and during shift following interventional shift
Secondary outcome [5] 276337 0
Patient satisfaction measured by surveys (inc Likert scales) given to patients at baseline, post intervention and upon discharge from ICU
Timepoint [5] 276337 0
At baseline, after intervention and upon discharge from ICU

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Patients admitted to ICU at MMC or Dandenong and commenced on continuous veno-venous haemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) via femoral vascath
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
All eligible patients will be considered eligible to participate in a hip movement session unless they have any of the following clinical signs:
*Extreme agitation or confusion (Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale 3 or 4)
*Heart rate > 160 < 40 bpm or new arrhythmia developed (e.g. new onset atrial fibrillation)
*Limb movement restricted by reasons other than the presence of a vascath.

Patients will not be considered eligible to participate in a mobilization session (which includes sitting up at a minimum) if at the time of the planned session they have any of the following clinical signs:
*Extreme agitation or confusion (Richmond Sedation-Agitation Scale 3 or 4)
*Heart rate > 160 < 40 bpm or new arrhythmia developed (e.g. new onset atrial fibrillation)
*Mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) < 60 mm Hg > 120 mm Hg
*Patient requiring > 10 mcg/min noradrenaline (or equivalent vasopressor/ionotrope)
*FiO2 > 0.6, with PaO2 < 65 mm Hg
*Patient suffers a drop in SpO2 greater than 10% from resting level or SpO2 < 85%
*Patient respiratory rate > 35
*Patient temperature > 38.5 degrees
*A stand will not be attempted in patients who are drowsy or unable to follow commands
*Patient suffers new onset chest pain with suspected cardiac cause

Cessation criteria
Any session that is being carried out will be ceased if during the session, the patient meets any of the exclusion criteria not responsive to 2 minutes rest.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Non-randomised trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
*Patients are screened by Senior ICU Physio daily on weekdays
*Principal investigator(s) notified
*Investigator(s) screens patient for inclusion into study and allocate patient into one of three treatment groups:

Passive movements group: Patients not able to participate in physiotherapy treatment (e.g. due to sedation, low Glasgow Coma Score or severe weakness/debility, medical condition precluding mobilization (e.g. sitting up) as described in the Exclusion Criteria)

Sitting mobilisation group: patients with low-level physical function (defined as a likely inability to stand as assessed by the treating physiotherapist)

Standing mobilisation group: patients with high-level physical function (measured by a likely ability to stand as assessed by the treating physiotherapist)
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Patients will not be randomised as this is a pilot study that aims to assess the safety of the intervention.
Masking / blinding
