Exercise testing in survivors of intensive care—is there a role for cardiopulmonary exercise testing?
S Benington, D McWilliams, J Eddleston… - Journal of critical care, 2012 - Elsevier
PURPOSE: The aims of this study were to assess the feasibility of cardiopulmonary exercise
testing (CPET) for the early assessment of cardiorespiratory fitness in general adult intensive
care unit (ICU) survivors and to characterize the pathophysiology of exercise limitation in this
population. METHODS: Fifty general ICU survivors (ventilated for≥ 5 days) performed a
maximal cycle ergometer CPET within 6 weeks of hospital discharge. Health-related quality
of life was measured by the Medical Outcome Study Short Form 36 version 2.0 …
