Abstract
Patients supported on ventricular assist devices (VADs) benefit from rehabilitation while awaiting heart transplantation to recover from surgery, prevent deconditioning, and, in most cases, optimize transplant candidacy. With bleeding and neurological dysfunction as the most common VAD complications, the importance of rehabilitation dramatically increases when a patient on a VAD also suffers from a neurological injury. The rehabilitation needs for cardiac conditioning and neurological reeducation are not the same. Patients with severe neurological deficits require intense rehabilitation that often includes base-of-support challenges, usage of bolsters and balls, partial weight-bearing treadmill training, and assumption of various body positions in prone, kneeling, or quadruped for neuromotor reeducation. However, some devices are more conducive to rehabilitation than others. For children supported by the CentriMag in particular, rehabilitation is challenged by short cannula tubing, an external motor, a large interface, and an intensive care unit (ICU) admission. We report a safe and successful physical therapy course of a pediatric stroke patient with a diagnosis of Ebstein's anomaly supported by a CentriMag right VAD (RVAD) while awaiting heart transplant in the ICU.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite the benefits of mobilisation in the critical patient, the evidence in patients with Levitronix® CentriMag as a bridge to heart transplantation (HT) is scarce. The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of mobility on these patients. METHODS Retrospective observational study of patients who received a HT with Levitronix® CentriMag admitted between 2010 and 2019 to a tertiary hospital. Degree of mobility and nutritional status were assessed at the time of HT. Outcomes including infections, length of hospital admission and mortality were evaluated. RESULTS 27 patients were included and divided in two groups according to degree of mobility (22 with low mobility and 5 with high mobility). 90-day survival after HT was 63.6% in patients with low mobility and 80% in high mobility group; no statistically significant differences were observed. No differences were observed regarding ICU discharge after HT at 30 days. Nevertheless, lower albumin levels were observed in low mobility group (24,5 g/L (IQR: 23-30) vs 33 g/L (IQR: 26-36); p = .029). Invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) post HT was longer in patients with low mobility (p = .014). There were no significant differences in appearance of pressure ulcers, or post HT infections among mobility groups. CONCLUSIONS Patients with high mobility had a shorter time of IMV and a better nutritional status. No complications were observed associated to mobility. No differences were observed between the degree of mobility and 90-day mortality, ICU stay or post HT adverse events.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) for circulatory and/or respiratory failure is improving. Currently, invasive sternotomies or rib-spreading thoracotomies are used for central cannulation of the heart and great vessels. Although peripheral cannulation of the extremities is often used, this approach may result in immobility and unintentional dislodgement. Less invasive methods for central cannulation are needed to achieve long-term ECLS. The objective of this study was to develop 2 different minimally invasive approaches for central thoracic cannulation. METHODS Porcine hearts were positioned in a plastic thoracic model. An endoscopic camera and multiple endoscopic instruments were used. Both access points, uniportal (lateral) and subxiphoidal, were simulatively investigated. A novel cannulation method using purse string sutures, a custom-made endoscopic puncture tool, guidewires, and dilator-assisted cannulas was developed. Simulations were tested in a closed circuit regarding leak tightness. RESULTS The uniportal approach allowed a cannulation of the aorta, inferior vena cava, right atrium, and main pulmonary artery. Cannulation of the right branches of the pulmonary artery and vein was also possible. From the subxiphoid approach, cannulation of the aorta, main pulmonary artery, and both atria were possible. Subsequent evaluation and leakage tests revealed no damage to the surrounding structures and tightly sealed cannulation sites. The uniportal approach was also successfully performed in a human cadaver to connect the aorta and right atrium with cannulas from the subxiphoidal space. CONCLUSIONS Both uniportal and subxiphoid central cannulation of potential sites for ECLS were feasible. This study encourages further investigation and potential clinical translation of minimally invasive central organ support.

Abstract
The aim of this qualitative systematic review is to summarize and analyze the different modalities of exercise training and its potential effects in patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. ECMO is an outbreaking, life-saving technology of the last decades which is being used as a gold standard treatment in patients with severe cardiac, respiratory or combined cardiorespiratory failure. Critically ill patients on ECMO very often present intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW); thus, leading to decreased exercise capacity and increased mortality rates. Early mobilization and physical therapy have been proven to be safe and feasible in critically ill patients on ECMO, either as a bridge to lung/heart transplantation or as a bridge to recovery. Rehabilitation has beneficial effects from the early stages in the ICU, resulting in the prevention of ICU-AW, and a decrease in episodes of delirium, the duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU and hospital length of stay, and mortality rates. It also improves functional ability, exercise capacity, and quality of life. Rehabilitation requires a very careful, multi-disciplinary approach from a highly specialized team from different specialties. Initial risk assessment and screening, with appropriate physical therapy planning and exercise monitoring in patients receiving ECMO therapy are crucial factors for achieving treatment goals. However, more randomized controlled trials are required in order to establish more appropriate individualized exercise training protocols.

Abstract
Intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired weakness is a common and serious sequela of critical illness. There is a growing body of evidence supporting the use of early mobilization in the ICU to mitigate this adverse effect. Recent data suggest that such a strategy may be feasible in patients with the most severe forms of cardiopulmonary failure—those requiring temporary mechanical circulatory support (TCS) or extracorporeal life support (ECLS). Both the modality of mechanical support and patient-specific characteristics must be taken into consideration when determining the appropriateness of an early mobilization strategy. The purpose of this review is to explore the current understanding of and evidence for mobilization and rehabilitation of patients receiving TCS or ECLS, including the identification of factors that may predict greater success for early mobilization and potential risks and contraindications to active physical therapy. While it is not yet known which of these patients are most likely to benefit from physical rehabilitation, a common theme is the importance of an interprofessional team approach to ensure patient safety and maximize the likelihood of successful mobilization.

Abstract
Early mobilization of critically ill patients is increasingly being recognized as not only safe and feasible, but also as a potential means of optimizing outcomes in the intensive care unit (ICU). With the rapidly expanding use of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) for severe cardiopulmonary failure, there is a growing interest in the application of early mobilization to this patient population, which has been shown to be safe and feasible in select patient populations. However, some patients receiving ECLS support may benefit more than others. For instance, early mobilization may be particularly beneficial in patients awaiting heart or lung transplantation, as maintenance of physical conditioning may be an important component of a patient's transplant candidacy. The ability to engage critically ill patients in active physical therapy and early mobilization necessarily involves minimization of sedation and is often further facilitated by a strategy that favors endotracheal extubation. Whether an awake, extubated and mobile strategy can be applied in any given patient is often dictated by the severity of the underlying disease and the amount of extracorporeal support required. Additionally, whether this approach is superior to usual care, which patients might benefit or be harmed, and which patient characteristics are most likely to predict success of this strategy, are areas of ongoing investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early mobilization and rehabilitation of patients in intensive care units (ICUs) may improve physical function, and reduce the duration of delirium, mechanical ventilation, and ICU length of stay. However, safety concerns are an important barrier to widespread implementation. OBJECTIVES To synthesize safety data regarding patient mobilization and rehabilitation in the ICU, including falls, removal of endotracheal tubes, removal or dysfunction of intravascular catheters, removal of other catheters/tubes, cardiac arrest, hemodynamic changes, and desaturation. DATA SOURCES Systematic literature review, including searches of five databases. Eligible studies evaluated patients who received mobilization-related interventions in the ICU. Exclusion criteria included: (1) case series with fewer than 10 patients; (2) majority of patients under 18 years of age; and (3) data not reported to permit calculation of incidence of safety events. DATA EXTRACTION Number of patients, mobilization/rehabilitation sessions, potential safety events, and events with negative consequences (e.g., requiring intervention or additional therapy). SYNTHESIS Heterogeneity was assessed by I2 statistics, and bias assessed by the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and Cochrane risk of bias assessment. The literature search identified 20,660 titles. There were 48 eligible publications evaluating 7,546 patients, with 583 potential safety events occurring in 22,351 mobilization/rehabilitation sessions. There was a total of 583 (2.6%) potential safety events with heterogeneity in the definitions for these events. For the safety event types that could be meta-analyzed, pooled incidences per 1,000 mobilization/rehabilitation sessions (95% confidence interval), were: hemodynamic changes, 3.8 (1.3-11.4), and desaturation, 1.9 (0.9-4.3). A total of 24 studies of 3,404 patients reported on any consequences of potential safety events (e.g., needing to increase dose of vasopressor due to mobility-related hypotension), with a frequency of 0.6% in 14,398 mobilization/rehabilitation sessions. CONCLUSIONS Patient mobilization and physical rehabilitation in the ICU appears safe, with a low incidence of potential safety events, and only rare events having any consequences for patient management. Heterogeneity in the definition of safety events across studies emphasizes the importance of implementing existing consensus-based definitions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the feasibility and safety of mobilizing patients while on extracorporeal membranous oxygenation support. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Medical and Surgical ICUs in a large tertiary care hospital in the United States. PATIENTS Adults supported on extracorporeal membranous oxygenation from January 2014 to December 2015. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We reviewed the medical records from physical therapy, perfusion, and intensivists to obtain the number and type of physical therapy interventions and discharge status; extracorporeal membranous oxygenation type and description of support, cannulation sites; and risk management details of adverse effects, if any. Of 254 patients supported on extracorporeal membranous oxygenation, 167 patients (66.7%) received a total of 607 physical therapy sessions while on extracorporeal membranous oxygenation support. In this cohort, 134 patients (80.2%) had at least one femoral cannula during physical therapy intervention. Sixty-six of the 167 patients (39.5%) were supported on extracorporeal membranous oxygenation with bifemoral cannulas, and 44 (26.3%) were on veno-arterial extracorporeal membranous oxygenation. A dual lumen catheter was only used in five cases. Twenty-five patients (15%) (13 bifemoral cases) participated in standing or ambulation activities. Seventy-five patients (68.8%) who were successfully weaned from extracorporeal membranous oxygenation were discharged to a rehabilitation facility; 26 patients (23.8%) went home. Three minor events (< 0.5%) involving two episodes of arrhythmias and a hypotension event interrupted the therapy sessions, but mobility activities and exercises resumed that day. No major events were reported. CONCLUSIONS With a highly trained multidisciplinary team and a focus on restoring function, it is feasible and safe to deliver early rehabilitation including standing and ambulation to patients on extracorporeal membranous oxygenation support even those with femoral cannulation sites with veno-arterial extracorporeal membranous oxygenation and veno-venous extracorporeal membranous oxygenation.
