“…Although there are international recommendations on ICU rehabilitation ( 4 - 6 ) and more or less comprehensive early mobilization protocols are being disseminated, ( 7 - 9 ) the Portuguese reality is little known. Moreover, the Portuguese context, besides different hospital management models, has particularities in the organization of the rehabilitation care itself, with a multiplicity of scenarios, without knowing the work developed in each center or its results.…”

“…Early, gradual, and progressive mobilization of critically ill patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) has been used as a treatment strategy to avoid, minimize, or reverse the deleterious effects of prolonged immobility in bed 1 . For this purpose, several protocols with strict security criteria were designed and stratified into mobilization levels ranging from passive exercises to deambulation [2][3][4][5][6] .…”

“…Os avanços tecnológicos e a evolução no cuidado ao paciente crítico nos últimos anos, têm contribuído significativamente para a redução da mortalidade e o aumento da sobrevida desses pacientes. 1,2 Entretanto, limitações físicas e psicológicas decorrentes do longo período de internação, são comumente observadas nessa população, tanto durante a hospitalização, quanto no período pós-alta. 3 A fraqueza muscular adquirida na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (do inglês intensive care unit-acquired weakness -ICU-AW) é reconhecida como uma complicação frequente do paciente crítico e está associada a diversos fatores de risco: imobilidade no leito, uso de corticoides, uso de bloqueadores neuromusculares, hiperglicemia, sepse, disfunção múltipla de órgãos e síndrome da angústia respiratória aguda (SDRA).…”
