简介
PURPOSE: Current evidence has suggested that early mobilization helps improve physical, cognitive, and functional outcomes. While it is challenging to ensure mobility in intubated and mechanically ventilated patients on sedation, the use of tracheostomy often facilitates mobilization at an earlier stage. We aim to explore the effects of early tracheostomy on sedative-analgesic use and mobility scores in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients.
METHODS: We performed a retrospective multi-center study on COVID-19 patients admitted to the Mayo Clinic Enterprise health system between March 2020 and June 2022. Data were extracted from the Society of Critical Care Medicine VIRUS COVID-19 registry, automated data pull by Mayo Data Explorer and retrospective chart review.
