🎙️ Episode 25: The Cost-Effectiveness of Early Active Mobilization During Mechanical Ventilation in the ICU
In this episode, Dr. Lisa Higgins (Lead, Health Economics Program, Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Research Centre, Monash University) presents an economic evaluation alongside the TEAM Trial, examining the clinical and financial impact of early active mobilization in mechanically ventilated ICU patients.
Moderated by Dr. Diana Morales Castro (Division of Critical Care, University of Toronto) and Dr. Federico Carini (Intensive Care Unit, Hospital Italiano), the discussion explores cost-effectiveness compared with usual care, hospital resource utilization, ICU length of stay, duration of mechanical ventilation, and post-discharge rehabilitation outcomes.
This episode is part of ICU Topics for the Modern Clinician, a free webinar series that promotes evidence-based practice and international collaboration among critical care teams across Latin America, Canada, and other regions.
