The Health Technology Assessment (HTA) unit of the CHU de Québec – Université Laval is currently working to get data on integrated early rehabilitation interventions in pediatric intensive care unit.
We define «integrated early rehabilitation interventions» as physical, functional, nutritional, psychological, communicational, social or spiritual rehabilitation activities initiated during the first days of admission of a patient in the pediatric intensive care unit and delivered by each professional according to an intervention plan that has been developed beforehand as a team by these same professionals.
Are early interdisciplinary rehabilitation interventions an established practice in the pediatric intensive care unit of your hospital?
Many of these interventions that you mentioned are part of our 15-beds PICU work flow.
Currently I am living in Bolivia and most of the Hospital don´t count with those services in ICU.
In Brazil there is a law that determine the presence of some of those professional (PT for example) 24/7. But that doesn´t translate into practice.
