What Researchers Did
Researchers designed a prospective, interventional, controlled trial to evaluate two different 3-month rehabilitation programs (cycloergometer training or hyperbaric oxygen therapy) in 60 post-sepsis patients compared to a control group.
What They Found
This study is a protocol paper, outlining the design for a future trial, and therefore no results have been reported yet. The planned trial aims to recruit 60 post-sepsis patients to compare two rehabilitation interventions against a control group over three months.
Canadian Relevance
This study protocol does not have a direct Canadian connection, as it was not conducted in Canada nor involved Canadian researchers or patients.
Study Limitations
As a study protocol, this paper presents no actual findings, and the planned trial involves a relatively small sample size of 60 patients.
