It is well known that some critically ill, immobile patients benefit from being placed in the prone position. As a result, an increasing number of physicians are adopting this practice. The RotoProne® Therapy System is a comprehensive system that provides an efficient and effective way to prone patients.

Early mobilization has been demonstrated to be both safe and feasible for patients admitted to critical care.

Reduced mobility is a significant risk factor for pressure injury development, international guidelines emphasise the need for regular turning and repositioning of patients to help prevent skin damage¹. While a pressure redistribution mattress may enable the repositioning regimen to be individualised, regular postural change is still important but not without risk to the patient or caregiver.

Early mobilization of ICU patients has been associated with improved muscle strength and functional independence, as well as a shorter duration of delirium, mechanical ventilation, and ICU length of stay.

The significance of early mobility in the rehabilitation of war veterans cannot be overstated. In fact, muscle wasting occurs early and rapidly during the first week of critical illness, with losses of up to 20% seen for those in multi organ failure.

In the pursuit of optimizing the rehabilitation journey for our esteemed veterans, the Veterans Administration (VA) has developed the Mobility Screening and Solutions Tool. This tool aims to enhance early mobilization and improve the functional outcomes of veterans.

Intensive care unit (ICU) patients frequently have extreme derangement of physiological function.
