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...

Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Prevention and Management of Pain, Agitation/Sedation, Delirium, Immobility, and Sleep Disruption in Adult Patients in the ICU

John W. Devlin, +42 more
TL;DR: Substantial agreement was found among a large, interdisciplinary cohort of international experts regarding evidence supporting recommendations, and the remaining literature gaps in the assessment, prevention, and treatment of Pain, Agitation/sedation, Delirium, Immobility (mobilization/rehabilitation), and Sleep (disruption) in critically ill adults.

ICU-acquired weakness

TL;DR: Results of studies investigating the impact of early mobilization, neuromuscular electrical stimulation and of pharmacological interventions were inconsistent, with recent systematic reviews/meta-analyses revealing no or only low-quality evidence for benefit.

Early mobilization of critically ill patients in the intensive care unit: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Early mobilization appears to decrease the incidence of ICU-AW, improve the functional capacity, and increase the number of ventilator-free days and the discharged-to-home rate for patients with a critical illness in the ICU setting.

What Are the Barriers to Mobilizing Intensive Care Patients

TL;DR: Critically ill patients can be safely mobilized for much of their ICU stay, and interventions that may allow more patients to mobilize include: changing the site of vascular catheters, careful scheduling of procedures, and improved sedation management.

Early physical rehabilitation in intensive care patients with sepsis syndromes: a pilot randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: Implementation of early physical rehabilitation can improve self-reported physical function and induce systemic anti-inflammatory effects in patients with sepsis syndromes.

The safety of mobilisation and its effect on haemodynamic and respiratory status of intensive care patients

TL;DR: Although mobilisation resulted in significant increases in heart rate and blood pressure and a non-significant fall in percutaneous oxygen saturation, the ICU patients in this study deemed suitable for mobilisation were able to be safely mobilised.

Early Mobilization in Critically Ill Patients: Patients' Mobilization Level Depends on Health Care Provider's Profession

TL;DR: To evaluate whether the level of mobilization achieved and the barriers for progressing to the next mobilization level differ between nurses and physical therapists, a database of mobilization levels and barriers is analyzed.
