Abstract:

Objective

To understand the change of grip strength (upper limb) and tension (lower limb) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients during hospitalization.

Methods

Seventy-seven ICU patients from April 2019 to July 2019 received grip strength and lower limb tension assessments until they discharged from the ICU. The differences of grip strength and tension between patients on 3, 7 and 10 days after ICU admission and the point of ICU discharge were compared.

Results

There was no significant difference of grip strength among 3, 7 and 10 days after ICU admission. There was a differed significantly in the tension of patients within 3 days after admission (P<0.05), and no difference in the tension within 7 and 10 days after admission. There were significant differences in grip strength between ICU admission and ICU discharge (P<0.05). There were differences in tension between ICU admission and ICU discharge (P<0.05). The grip strength increased by 17.2% on average and the lower limb tension increased by 41.3% on average when the patients discharged from the ICU.

Conclusion

During the period of admission to the ICU, the change trend of the patient's grip strength and tension is not obvious, but it still needs the attention of the medical staff.

Key words: ICU patients, Grip tension, Muscle strength
