2017 Early Mobility in the ICU

Early mobility has been demonstrated to reduce delirium and maintain muscle strength but facilitating this is a challenge for the staff. However, data suggests that early mobility improves satisfaction of both patient and staff when appropriately implemented. This presentation will discuss the concept of early mobility in the intensive care unit, review the literature, and detail the processes.
