Presentation Transcript

  1. Clinical algorithm for the passive mobilization of an unresponsive patient Next step in the algorithm

  2. On admission to unit • Develop an individually designed mobility plan with outcomes for each patient in consultation with rest of the team. • Monitor daily and provide feedback (Nava 2000; Nava 2002; Thomas 2002; Vollman 2004) Recommendation 1 Next step in the algorithm

  3. Does patient present with any • Neurological contra indications? • Orthopedic contra indications? • Recent SSG? NO YES

  4. Discuss with interdisciplinary team • Decide on a specific mobility plan for the patient including outcome measures and monitor accordingly Back to algorithm

  5. Patient has sufficient cardiovascular reserve? • MAP > 60mmHg • No new cardiac arythmias visible on ECG; • HR < 75% APM • Low dose inotrope support: • Dopamine <10mcg/kg/min; • Nor/adrenaline<01mcg/kg/min EXPERT OPINION Thomas et al 2006 NO YES

  6. Initiate basic elements of a mobility plan • Two hourly change of position supine – quarter turn (Topp 2002; Thomas 2006; Krishnagopalan et al 2002) • Nurse in 30-45 degrees head up position (supine) (I RCT Dodek et al 2004) • Passive movement of upper and lower extremities once daily through full range (Morris 2007; Winkelman 2007; Nava 2002) EXPERT OPINION Topp et al 2002; Thomas et al 2006; Krishnagopalan et al 2002; Morris 2007; Winkelman 2007; Nava 2002 Previous step in the algorithm
