TLDR
Available new evidence suggests that physiotherapy intervention that comprises early progressive mobilization is beneficial for adult patients in the ICU in terms of its positive effect on functional ability and its potential to reduce ICU and hospital length of stay.

A Randomized Trial of an Intensive Physical Therapy Program for Patients with Acute Respiratory Failure

TL;DR: An intensive PT program did not improve long-term physical functional performance compared with a standard-of-care program and there were no differences in the total CS-PFP-10 scores at all three time points.

Safety of Patient Mobilization and Rehabilitation in the Intensive Care Unit. Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis.

TL;DR: Patient mobilization and physical rehabilitation in the ICU appears safe, with a low incidence of potential safety events, and only rare events having any consequences for patient management.

Early physical and occupational therapy in mechanically ventilated, critically ill patients: a randomised controlled trial.

TL;DR: A strategy for whole-body rehabilitation-consisting of interruption of sedation and physical and occupational therapy in the earliest days of critical illness-was safe and well tolerated, and resulted in better functional outcomes at hospital discharge, a shorter duration of delirium, and more ventilator-free days compared with standard care.

Early intensive care unit mobility therapy in the treatment of acute respiratory failure

TL;DR: A Mobility Team using a mobility protocol initiated earlier physical therapy that was feasible, safe, did not increase costs, and was associated with decreased intensive care unit and hospital length of stay in survivors who received physical therapy duringintensive care unit treatment compared with patients who received usual care.
