The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether LOLE.K, a new and specialized robotic bed, is effective in the rehabilitation of patients who have undergone surgery. The primary objectives of the trial are:
To address these questions, the researchers will compare the use of LOLE.K with standard physical therapy to determine whether the robotic bed results in better outcomes in post-operative rehabilitation.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether LOLE.K, a new and specialized robotic bed, works for rehabilitation of patients following surgery.
The main research questions are:
Researchers will compare LOLE.K bed to the usual therapy to see if LOLE.K woks better than standard post-operation rehabilitation.
Project Objectives Primary Objective: To assess the effectiveness of multirole robotic beds (LOLE.K) for early rehabilitation in cardiac surgery patients.
Target Population Patients: individuals aged 60-85 years undergoing aortic and mitral valve surgery.
Study Sites: University of Salerno Hospital and IRCCS Ospedale Galeazzi-Sant'Ambrogio.
Experimental Design:
Key phases
- Pilot Phase (Months 1-6): Define dataset structure, initiate patient enrollement and refine the operational algorithm.
- Enrollment Phase (Months 6-12): Collect demographic, clinical, and physical health data from enrolled patients.
- Follow-Up & Analysis Phase (Months 12-24): Perform in-depth statistical analysis and finalize outcome evalitaion.
Data Colection Data Types: Demographic, clinical, physical, echocardiographic, and wound-healing data.
Devices: LOLE.K robotic beds and echography machines.
Outcomes & Measurements
Standardized protocols for sedation and analgesia management will be applied, including the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) for sedation and the Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS) or Critical Pain Observation Tool (CPOT) for pain. Also, delirium will be assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method for ICU (CAM-ICU). These parametres are critical: if patients are overly sedated or inadequately anesthetized, the results on mobilization could be confounded by these factors. Assessment of delirium is important because early mobilization could also have beneficial effects on cognitive status.
Statistical Analysis Plan
Expected Outcomes The use of LOLE.K is expected to result in faster recovery times, reduced ICU stays, improved physical and mental health, and enhanced wound healing compared with standard post-operative rehabilitation.

| Effectiveness of LOLE.K reducing ICU and hospital stay | The autors proposal aims to reducing the ICU and Hospital stay in cardiac surgery patients through mobilization and postural drainage. The authors aim to discharge patients from the ICU within two days of surgery and discharge them from the hospital within two weeks. Therefore, the unit of measurement is expressed in the number of days elapsed from admission to discharge, both from the intensive care unit and from the hospital overall. | 12 months |
| Effectiveness of LOLE.K reducing duration of Mechanical ventilation | One of the primary objectives of this study is to achieve a reduction in the duration of mechanical ventilation compatibly with each patient's specific preoperative and postoperative conditions. In addition to the invasive ventilation phase (ventilator), a reduction in the use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is also sought during the immediate postoperative period, up to seven days after surgery. The unite of measurement is the number of days the patient requires non-invasive ventilation following extubation. | 12 months |
| Effectiveness of LOLE.K enhancing functional outcomes | To assess physical functioning and the associated return to usual activities, the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey version 2 (SF-36 v2) , will be administered 12 weeks after surgery. This questionnaire measures a wide range of symptoms, experiences, and health outcomes across eight domains comprising thirty-six items, addressing gaps in the assessment of patient-reported outcomes throughout the care continuum. The unit of measurement is the SF-36 domain score (0-100). | Maximum 12 months for the entire study, from enrollment to 6 months after discharge |
| Effectiveness of LOLE.K in patient satisfaction | To characterize patient satisfaction, we will record pain, anxiety, and satisfaction levels during mobilization, all assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS, 0-10), where 0 indicates no pain and 10 represents the worst pain imaginable. Therefore, the unit of measurement is expressed in points on a 0-10 scale. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Muscular and neurological recovery | Verify the benefits for muscle recovery with the multifunctional bed in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The authors intend to demonstrate that the bed's special features promote muscle healing process thanks to the programming of cyclical postural transitions specific to cardiac surgery patients. The strength recovery is measured using a dynamometer for Lower limb and Handgrip-Test, evaluating the variation from T0 to T4. The unite of measurement for this outcome is Kilogram (Kg). |
