Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Critically-ill patients with liver disease are at high risk of developing sarcopenia and intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired weakness, which are associated with mortality and other poor outcomes. Early physical rehabilitation has shown benefit in ICU settings, but has not been studied in ICU patients with acute and chronic liver failure. Cycle ergometry, or stationary cycling in passive and active modes, may be especially beneficial to such patients due to their high prevalence of severe physical deconditioning and variable mentation. The aim of this study is to examine the feasibility, safety, and benefit of cycle ergometry over standard physical and occupational therapy (PT/OT) in critically-ill patients who have acute or chronic liver disease.
