40-130BPM
Safe RR range for exercise
5-40 breaths/min
Safe SpO2 range for exercise
> 88%
Safe MAP range for exercise
65-110mmHg
Safe systolic BP range for exercise
<200mmHg
Safe RPE range for exercise

When should you not have a pt exercise?
If they devo arrhythmia, angina, or complaints of fatigue
PMV
Need for mechanical ventilation for >3wks
Risk factors for PMV
- Age
- Comorbidity
- Illness severity
- Sepsis
- Duration of ICU delirium
Post-ICU Syndrome
Decline in physical, cognitive, or mental status that continues after ICU d/c
Long-term complications associated w/PICS:
- Physical dysfxn
- Neuromuscular dysfxn
- Pulmonary dysfxn
- Cognitive decline
- Psychiatric decline
- Decr QOL
Is there a recognized rehab protocol for PICS?
No
What is ICU-associated weakness
Clinically detected weakness in critically ill pt’s where there’s no cause other than critical illness
*Refers to bilateral, generalized, & diffuse muscle weakness
Types of ICU-AW
- Critical Illness Myopathy (CIM)
- Critical Illness Polyneuropathy (CIP)
- Critical Illness Neuromyopathy (CINM)
What needs to be addressed w/ICU-AW?
Pt’s fxnl weaknesses
Which type of ICU-AW devos later & less frequently but is associated w/long ICU stays?
CIP
Clinical Features of ICU-AW
1) Weakness devo after onset of critical illness
2) Weakness involving proximal & distal muscles, limbs, & respiratory muscles
3) Spares CN’s
4) MRC score <48/60
5) Dependency on vent
6) Weakness is not related to any underlying critical illness
*Need to have 1,2, & 6, &/or 4 & 5
What are important mechanisms for ICU-AW-associated weakness & why?
Immobility & inflammation–>Shift of pro-inflammatory cytokines during critical illness leads to incr systemic infection which causes further muscle damage
*This combined w/production of reactive O2 species (ROS) w/incr anti-oxidative defenses causes further disruption between muscle synthesis & proteolysis
True or false: Pt’s w/ICU-AW have weakness before there’s detectable muscle wasting
True
