Activity Summary

Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes

Early mobility interventions provide benefit to intensive care unit (ICU) patients by improving physical function and decreasing the duration of delirium, mechanical ventilation, and ICU and hospital stays. Current clinical practice guidelines suggest performing rehabilitation or mobilization in critically ill adults. The use of early mobility and exercise interventions is included in the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) ICU Liberation Bundle, also known as the pain assessment, spontaneous awakening and breathing trials, analgesia/sedation, delirium assessment, early mobility/exercise, and family engagement (ABCDEF) bundle. Adoption of early mobility interventions into intensive care unit (ICU) practice has been slow and varied. This study examines factors associated with early mobility performance in critically ill adults and evaluate factors’ effects on predicting next-day early mobility performance

Objectives

  • Describe benefits of mobility interventions and barriers that may affect delivery of early mobility interventions.
  • Identify potentially modifiable factors associated with performance of early mobility interventions.
  • Identify factors routinely documented in the electronic health record that predict next-day early mobility performance.
