Early Mobilization Dose Reporting in Randomized Clinical Trials with Patients Who Were Mechanically Ventilated: A Scoping Review

CONCLUSIONS: Deficits in mobilization dose reporting of intensive care unit RCTs were identified, especially for exercise intensity in adults receiving mechanical ventilation. One-third of IG reported all exercise dosing items, whereas no CG reported all of them. Future studies should investigate the details of optimal dosage reporting, particularly for CG.IMPACT: The lack of dose reporting may partially explain the inconsistency in the meta-analysis results of early mobilization trials, thus limiting the interpretation for clinical practice in the intensive care unit.PMID:38519113 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzae048
