Early Mobilization In the Intensive Care Setting Lauren Wesson-Stout University of South Florida, College of Nursing
Objectives • Define early mobilization within the intensive care setting • Identify benefits of early mobilization • Discuss current evidence-based research supporting the use of early mobilization in the ICU
What is early mobilization? • Getting patients moving! • Includes sitting, moving to a chair, ambulating, and AROM and PROM exercises based on patient status • Evaluate patients individually to determine if they are stable for mobilization
Risks of Immobility • Increased length of hospital stay • Increased mortality • Increased muscle atrophy • Increased risk of aspiration • Increased rate of return to ICU
Benefits of Early Mobilization • Improved functional independence • Reduced ICU delirium • Reduced duration of mechanical ventilation • Reduced ICU (and hospital) length of stay • Improved walk distance • Improved muscle strength
Goals of Mobility for TGH • Reduce bounceback • Patients should be out of bed before transfer to floor • Patient should maintain pre-hospital mobility • Prevent pressure ulcers
Perceived Barriers • Lack of understanding of mobility benefits • Patient status • Resources
Resource Solutions • Interdisciplinary Involvement • Physician Groups • Respiratory Therapy • Physical Therapy • Lift Team • Patient Care Technicians
Mobility Technician (MT) • Turn patients every two hours • Responsible for PROM exercise • Ambulate stable patients
Delegation • Level 1 • Passive ROM – MT • Turn every 2 hours – Lift Team/MT • Level 2 • Active resistance exercise – PT • Sitting position for 20 minutes – Lift Team/MT • Level 3 • Active transfer to chair – PT/MT/RT • Level 4 • Stand at bedside – PT/MT/RT • Ambulating in hallway – PT/MT/RT
