Purpose Early active mobilisation and rehabilitation in the intensive care unit (ICU) is being
used to prevent the long-term functional consequences of critical illness. This review aimed …

Background: Early mobilization and rehabilitation of patients in intensive care units (ICUs)
may improve physical function, and reduce the duration of delirium, mechanical ventilation …

Background Intensive care unit (ICU)–acquired weakness often develops in patients who
are undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation. Early active mobilization may mitigate ICU …

Background Immobilisation predicts adverse outcomes in patients in the surgical intensive
care unit (SICU). Attempts to mobilise critically ill patients early after surgery are frequently …

Background Survivors of critical illness often experience poor outcomes after hospitalisation,
including delayed return to work, which carries substantial economic consequences …

We propose an integrated and adaptable approach to improve patient care and clinical
outcomes through analgesia and light sedation, initiated early during an episode of critical …

Early mobilization of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) is safe, feasible, and beneficial.
However, implementation of early mobility as part of routine clinical care can be challenging …

Importance Physical rehabilitation in the intensive care unit (ICU) may improve the outcomes
of patients with acute respiratory failure. Objective To compare standardized rehabilitation …

Background: Interventions that lead to earlier liberation from mechanical ventilation can
improve patient outcomes. This guideline, a collaborative effort between the American …

Rationale: Early physical therapy (PT) interventions may benefit patients with acute
respiratory failure by preventing or attenuating neuromuscular weakness. However, the …
