Summary
Advances in intensive care and mechanical ventilation (MV) in the past two decades have increased critically ill patient survival. However, some patients require prolonged MV (PMV) and are deconditioned due to respiratory insufficiency caused by underlying disease, adverse effects of medications, and prolonged immobilization. Patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) are often confined to their beds, which results in inactivity, immobility, and severe osteomyoarticular system dysfunction. Our hypothesis is that an early mobilization protocol improves muscle thickness (MT) of the quadriceps femoris, peripheral muscle strength, perceived functional status, gait speed, quality of life, duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU length of stay of the critically ill patient. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of implementation an early mobilization protocol in critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit of the University Hospital of Santa Maria.

Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OTHER | Early mobilization protocol | Patients in the treatment group additionally received a cycling exercise session 7 days a week, using a bedside cycle ergometer (MOTOmed Letto 2, RECK-Technik GmbH \& Co. KG, Betzenweiler, Germany). The device offers the possibility to conduct passive or active cycling at six levels of increasing resistance. The aim of each session was to have the patient cycle for 30 mins at an individually adjusted intensity level. Patients were placed in a comfortable position in between the supine and the semirecumbent position. |
