Summary

This study tests a program called PICU Up! that helps children on breathing machines start moving earlier. The program combines gentle activity, better sedation, and family involvement. Researchers want to see if it reduces time on the ventilator and improves recovery. About 1,440 children across 10 hospitals will take part.
