Total number of sessions are presented as an absolute value (%), presence on first session is presented as a percentage, activities accomplished (sit, stand, walk, chair) are presented as absolute numbers with percentage of total sessions. CRRT = continuous renal replacement therapy; ECMO = extracorporeal membranous oxygenation; HFNC = high-flow nasal cannula; NIPPV = noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation
