Early mobilization is associated with decreased mechanical ventilation and ICU length of stay following cardiac surgery

Abstract: Background: Early mobilization of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients improves muscle strength and functional capacity. It has been demonstrated that prevents Intensive Care Unit Acquired Weakness (ICUAW) and accelerates ICU discharge. However, data on mobilization early after cardiac surgery are inadequate. This study aimed to record early mobilization and investigates the association with ICU findings in cardiac surgery patients.Material and Methods: In this observational study, 165 patients after cardiac… Show more

“…Early mobilization should be considered as an important preventive and treatment method for ICU acquired weakness in patients after cardiac surgery. Despite its safety, feasibility, beneficial effects on exercise capacity[ 10 ] and its association with reduced length of ICU stay[ 11 ], more studies are required in order to provide confirming evidence[ 12 ]. Early mobilization should be adjusted to each patient’s functional capacity, initiating from passive mobilization such as stretching, splinting, passive movements and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), and increasing the functional status with simple active range of motion and resistance exercises including sitting in a chair, leg press, squats from sitting position, walking, biking on an exercise bike, walking on stairs and inspiratory muscle training[ 13 , 14 ].…”
