Background Vasoactive drugs are one of the most common patient-related barriers to early
mobilization. Little is known about the hemodynamic effects of early mobilization on patients …

Purpose: Mobilization is feasible, safe, and beneficial to patients admitted to critical care
units. Vasoactive therapy appears to be one of the most common barriers to early …

Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of mobilization on
hemodynamic and respiratory responses in critically ill patients. Methods: Data of 39 …

Background Mobilisation of intensive care unit (ICU) patients reduces ICU-acquired
weakness and is associated with better functional outcomes. However, the prevalence of …

This study investigated the safety of mobilising acutely ill in-patients, in particular the effect of
mobilisation on their haemodynamic and respiratory parameters. Thirty one patients in an …

Objective To evaluate whether the level of mobilization achieved and the barriers for
progressing to the next mobilization level differ between nurses and physical therapists …

Purpose: Recently there has been increased interest in early mobilization of critically ill
patients. Proposed benefits include improvements in respiratory function, muscle wasting …

Background Intensive care unit (ICU)–acquired weakness often develops in patients who
are undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation. Early active mobilization may mitigate ICU …

Background Early mobilization in critically ill patients has been shown to prevent bed-rest-
associated morbidity. Reported reasons for not mobilizing patients, thereby excluding or …
