  2. Background and Study Aims • Acquired neurogenicheterotopic ossification (NHO) is a well-recognized condition in intensive care unit (ICU) (Genet et al., 2011; Simonsen et al., 2007) • It effects patients' mobility and morbidity, time of hospitalization and cost (Van Campen et al., 2011) • The purpose of this study was to assess the role of joint mobility, pain and ultrasonography in early diagnosis in critical ill patients in a general ICU Results Conclusion Methods

  3. Methods 1.: Flow chart 85 consecutive patients discharged from the ICU Inclusion criteria: - mechanical ventilation > 72h - age 18-75 years - length of stay in ICU at least 5 days - not previous HO 45 patients were excluded & 25 patients were deceased 20 patients were eligible for the study

  4. Methods 2.: Baseline characteristics (mean ± SD) • 20 patients were evaluated (M:14,F:6) (age 51±16 years) • ICU stay (days)20.0±13.6 • Mechanical ventilation (days) 13.4 ±10.1 • Apache II admission score 15.7±6.2 • Sofa admission score 6.9±2.1 • GCS 9.1 ± 4.1

  5. Methods 3.: Assessment tools • The patients received weekly assessment of passive range of motion (pROM) of hip, knee, shoulder and elbow joints with a goniometry • The pain during joint mobilization was evaluated by Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS) (Payen et al., 2009) & numeric Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) • An ultrasonography was performed in any clinically suspected patient • Confirmation of NHO diagnosis by ultrasonography & radiography Go to Go to Results Conclusion

  7. Confirmation of HO with X-Ray Back

  8. Results 1.: Incidence of NHO • The incidence of NHO was 2 out of 20 cases (10%) with acquired brain injury • NHO was located in the hip joint in one case and in the hip and elbow joints in the second case • The mean time of NHO diagnosis following their admission day in ICU was 10 ± 4 weeks

  9. Go to [Fig.1& 2]. [Fig.3& 4]. (mean ± SD) Conclusion (mean ± SD)

  11. Figure 3 & 4. Histograms of % pain of hip and shoulder joints Back

  12. Conclusions • Heterotopic ossification is a common complication in the ICU • Ultrasonography may play a pivotal diagnostic role in the identification and early detection of NHO • Limitation was the relatively small number of critically ill patients • Further studies are needed to determine a valid risk profile of a critical ill patient with HO for the administration of preventive measures Back to top
