Abstract

Early mobilization has been established as safe and feasible to deliver in the intensive care unit (ICU) (based on Phase I and II trials only), but the effect on mortality and long-term functional recovery is unclear.

Heterogeneity of patients admitted to the ICU, and differences in baseline function, may affect the response to early mobilization.

Early mobilization may provide better outcomes for patients if started within 72 hours of admission to intensive care.

Evidence has shown that implementing early mobilization strategies is more effective when using a protocol led by mobility champions and teams.

Using current evidence for early mobilization prescription is problematic especially as optimal type, frequency, intensity, and duration for this heterogeneous patient group remains unclear.
