Evaluating early mobilization and rehabilitation for ICU patients
Feasibility and Safety of Early Mobilization and Rehabilitation in Intensive Care Unit Patients. A Prospective, Multicenter Study
This study is testing if getting ICU patients moving and doing rehab exercises early can help them recover better and faster from their illness.

What this trial studies
This study assesses the feasibility and safety of implementing early mobilization and rehabilitation strategies for patients in intensive care units (ICUs) who are at risk of developing ICU-acquired weakness. It involves a multicenter prospective cohort approach, where interventions such as passive and active mobilization are initiated within 24-48 hours of ICU admission. The study aims to identify barriers to early mobilization and evaluate the outcomes related to muscle strength and overall recovery. By focusing on a structured process and multidisciplinary approach, the research seeks to improve functional outcomes and reduce the duration of ICU and hospital stays.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older who are admitted to intensive care units.
Not a fit: Patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or those with severe hemodynamic instability may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly enhance recovery and reduce complications for critically ill patients in ICUs.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown that early mobilization in ICU settings is feasible and can lead to improved patient outcomes, indicating a promising approach.
