SCCM - Society of Critical Care Medicine

2012 Society of Critical Care Medicine Award and Grant Recipients

Vision Grant
The Society of Critical Care Medicine proudly announces the winner of the 2012 SCCM Vision Grant. The grant was awarded to Selina Mary Parry B.Physio (Hons.) for her research titled: An early intervention to prevent muscle weakness in intensive care: a pilot randomized controlled trial. The goal of this project is to investigate the benefits of functional electrical stimulation in addition to in-bed cycling on muscle mass, strength and physical function compared to standard care. This project combines both clinical and basic sciences to evaluate cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for muscle mass and strength changes, together with measuring patient centered outcomes. This grant was made possible through contributions made to SCCM's Critical Care Education and Research Foundation.
