Can you tell us about this first trial?

Hi, Kirsten and Linda.

Recovery after acute hypoxemic respiratory failure often leaves patients with long-term impairments and poor quality of life.

Many interventions fail to make a meaningful impact for patients when provided at a single time in recovery.

But the value of coordinated rehabilitation across the ICU, hospital wards, and post-discharge period is still uncertain.

Dr. Rosa and the TeleRehab trial group conducted a stepped wedge, cluster randomized trial involving over one thousand nine hundred adults in twenty Brazilian public hospitals who required invasive mechanical ventilation.

The intervention bundled telehealth-based rehabilitation throughout the ICU stay during care on the medical ward and then in a post-discharge program.

Let's look at the study of high-dose IV vitamin C for major burns.
