1 School of Rehabilita?on Science Reaching Further Time is Muscle Michelle Kho, PT, PhD Canada Research Chair in Cri?cal Care Rehabilita?on and Knowledge Transla?on McMaster University, Hamilton, ON Clinician Scien?st, Physiotherapy Dept., St. Joseph s Healthcare, Hamilton, ON Cri?cal Care Canada Forum, October 30, 2014 In this talk, I will address 3 ques7ons: Why? What is the evidence for early muscle weakness in the ICU? How? When should we start treatments for muscle weakness? What s next? How do we advance the field? khome@mcmaster.ca 1

2 When should we start to think about muscles in the ICU? Finfer S and Vincent JL. Cri?cal Care Challenge. NEJM. April Prospec7ve 1 and 5- year follow- up study of 109 ICU survivors SeYng: 4 Canadian ICUs Popula?on: Adult pa?ents with ARDS Clinical Course ICU Admission ICU Discharge Outcomes: Primary 6 minute walk test Pulmonary func?on tests Health- related quality of life 6 minute walk distance 3 months 6 months 12 months N= m 49% predicted N= m 64% predicted N= m 66% predicted 60 months N= m 76% predicted Herridge et al, NEJM :683-93;Herridge et al., NEJM : khome@mcmaster.ca 2

3 Time is muscle. In acute MI,?me is muscle The golden hour of trauma. In people with stroke,?me is brain But what about cri-cal care? hbp:// images/images/home_07.jpg WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE FOR EARLY MUSCLE WEAKNESS IN THE ICU? 3

4 1. Quadriceps muscle cross sec7onal area decreases quickly in the ICU Puthucheary et al., JAMA (15): Within 7 days of ICU admission, involuntary quadriceps force is very low ~ day 7 Vivodtzev et al., Cri?cal Care :431. khome@mcmaster.ca 4

5 3. Pa7ents developing ICUAW have longer LOS & MV, higher costs, and higher 1- year mortality Last MRC in ICU > 48 Last MRC in ICU 36 to 47 Last MRC in ICU <36 ICUAW = ICU- acquired weakness MRC = Medical Research Council Hermans et al., AJRCCM. 2014; 190(4): WHEN SHOULD WE START TREATMENTS FOR MUSCLE WEAKNESS? khome@mcmaster.ca 5
