Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the degree of implementation of protocols associated with the prevention of
intensive-care-unit (ICU) acquired muscle weakness, and the presence of the physiotherapist
in various ICU in Spain.
Method: A descriptive, cross-sectional study performed in 86 adult ICU in Spain between March
and June 2017. Neurosurgical and major burns ICU were excluded. A multiple-choice survey was
used that included questions on protocols for glycaemia control, sedation, pain assessment,
delirium prevention, delirium management and early mobilisation. The survey was completed
using a user-protected application and password. The Student’s t-test or Mann---Whitney U test
and Pearson’s correlation or Spearman’s Rho test were used for the inferential analysis.
