TLDR
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.
Abstract
Background: Early mobilization and rehabilitation of patients in intensive care units (ICUs) may improve physical function, and reduce the duration of delirium, mechanical ventilation, and ICU length of stay. However, safety concerns are an important barrier to widespread implementation.Objectives: To synthesize safety data regarding patient mobilization and rehabilitation in the ICU, including falls, removal of endotracheal tubes, removal or dysfunction of intravascular catheters, removal of other catheters/tubes, cardiac arrest, hemodynamic changes, and desaturation.Data Sources: Systematic literature review, including searches of five databases. Eligible studies evaluated patients who received mobilization-related interventions in the ICU. Exclusion criteria included: (1) case series with fewer than 10 patients; (2) majority of patients under 18 years of age; and (3) data not reported to permit calculation of incidence of safety events.Data Extraction: Number of patients, mobilization/rehabilitation se...

Early Mobilization of Patients Receiving Vasoactive Drugs in Critical Care Units: A Systematic Review

TL;DR: Evidence determining specific doses of vasoactive drugs that would allow safe mobilization of patients in critical care is lacking and the criteria that have been used to determine the eligibility to mobilize patients on vaso active drugs have not been consistent.

Cardiorespiratory response to early rehabilitation in critically ill adults: A secondary analysis of a randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: A large range of variation during rehabilitation and recovery mirrors the heterogenous interventions and patient reactions, whereby the best option to stimulate a cardiorespiratory response seems to be active patient participation, shorter session durations and mobilisation.

Multidisciplinary, early mobility approach to enhance functional independence in patients admitted to a cardiothoracic intensive care unit: a quality improvement programme.

TL;DR: In this article, the CTICU team implemented a quality improvement (QI) project aimed at the early mobilisation of patients after cardiac surgery, where patients admitted to the cardiothoracic intensive care unit (CTICU) following cardiac surgery had only bed exercises and were confined to bed until the chest tubes were removed.

Time to active sitting position: One-year findings from a temporary COVID-19 intensive care unit

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the association between time to active sitting position and clinical features in people with COVID-19 admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) and referred to physiotherapists.

Quantifying heterogeneity in a meta‐analysis

TL;DR: It is concluded that H and I2, which can usually be calculated for published meta-analyses, are particularly useful summaries of the impact of heterogeneity, and one or both should be presented in publishedMeta-an analyses in preference to the test for heterogeneity.

The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) for Assessing the Quality of Nonrandomised Studies in Meta-Analyses

TL;DR: The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) as discussed by the authors was developed to assess the quality of nonrandomised studies with its design, content and ease of use directed to the task of incorporating the quality assessments in the interpretation of meta-analytic results.
