ICU early mobility programmes are on the rise. Organisations implement these programmes with the hope and goals of improving patients’ physical functioning, reducing delirium, shortening ventilator time, decreasing length of stay, enhancing cardio-pulmonary health and preventing post intensive care syndrome.
What is often realized is that successful execution of an early mobility programmes is hampered by issues around: knowledge & training, having the appropriate mobility tools & clinical resources, cultural & organisational barriers, safety concerns and embracing mythology that does not promote early activation.
