What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests a program called PICU Up! that helps critically ill children in the intensive care unit start moving earlier than usual. The program combines sleep support, delirium prevention, and less sedation to encourage safe mobility. Researchers will see if this approach reduces time on breathing machines and shortens hospital stays. About 2,500 children across multiple PICUs will take part.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria for Participating Units: * Participating PICUs must be a separate physical space dedicated to the care of critically ill infants and children, with the ability to provide mechanical ventilation. * Not implemented a PICU mobility protocol and would commit to not implementing a mobility protocol until the randomized time of unit implementation. Inclusion Criteria for Patients: All patients admitted to the PICUs regardless of length of stay will receive the unit-based PICU Up! intervention, which includes criteria for no mobilization based on specific clinical factors (i.e. open chest, surgeon request).10 For inclusion in data analysis, patients will be eligible if * Admitted to the participating PICU ≥ 3 days. Exclusion Criteria for Patients: * Patients with an active do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order will be excluded.
