Conditions

Condition 1: Respiratory failure. Condition 2: Heart failure. Respiratory failure, unspecified Heart failure, unspecified

Interventions

Intervention 1: Intervention group: For the intervention group, in addition to routine care, it will perform passive walking exercises. The passive walking method is repeated 5 times a week for 2 week
Second stage: Flexion-extension of the left thigh is practiced similarly to the right thigh
Runs 30 times per minute for 10 minutes
Step 4: According to the third step, flexion-knee extension and dorsi-plantar flexion of the left ankle are practiced
The researcher goes to the intensive care unit and on the patient's bed, performs this procedure for 2 weeks (5 sessions per week) while the patient is lying down and about 30 degrees above the head.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Average shock index. Timepoint: Before the intervention and 2 weeks after the intervention. Method of measurement: Shock Index=(Heart Rate)/(Systolic Blood Pressure)- Physiological indicators(Cardiorespiratory monitoring).;Average of mean arterial pressure. Timepoint: Before the intervention and 2 weeks after the intervention. Method of measurement: Mean arterial pressure = (systole + 2 diastole) / 3 _ Physiological indicators(pressure indicator).;Average airway resistance. Timepoint: Before the intervention and 2 weeks after the intervention. Method of measurement: Airway resistance= tail end wedge pressure - alveolar_ ventilator pressure_ ventilator.;Average compliance. Timepoint: Before the intervention and 2 weeks after the intervention. Method of measurement: Compliance = volume change / pressure change_ ventilator.;Average relative arterial oxygen pressure to percentage of tail oxygen. Timepoint: Before the intervention and 2 weeks after the intervention. Method of measurement: PaO2 / FiO2=Relative arterial oxygen pressure / percentage of tail oxygen - a tool for measuring _Physiological indicators(Cardiorespiratory monitoring).;Average peak inspiratory pressure. Timepoint: Before the intervention and 2 weeks after the intervention. Method of measurement: ventilator.;Average systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Timepoint: Before the intervention and 2 weeks after the intervention. Method of measurement: Physiological indicators(pressure indicator).;Average heart rate. Timepoint: Before the intervention and 2 weeks after the intervention. Method of measurement: Physiological indicators(Cardiorespiratory monitoring).;Average respiration rate. Timepoint: Before the intervention and 2 weeks after the intervention. Method of measurement: Physiological indicators(Cardiorespiratory monitoring).;Average percentage of peripheral blood oxygen saturation. Timepoint: Before the intervention and 2 weeks after the intervention. Method of measurement: Physiological indicat
