ICU Early Mobility Solutions
Intensive care unit (ICU) patients frequently have extreme derangement of physiological function. There is an initial focus on aggressive life support, coupled with continuous monitoring and treatment for organ failure.1 While providing this care, ICU management of the critically ill patient has traditionally involved supine or semi-recumbent positioning and bed rest, mechanical ventilation, analgesia, and sedation, but with historically little attention placed on long-term outcomes and in particular neuromuscular function.
With over 40 years’ experience as a global leader in the development of innovative patient mobility and safe patient handling solutions and programs, Arjo can bring a wealth of experience and an unrivalled product portfolio to support your ICU early mobility goals.
