“…47 Calculating how much physiotherapy patients do is difficult to interpret and is often based on the duration of treatment. 51 The Mobilization Quantification Score is a significant advancement and a milestone in the rehabilitative practice, allowing physiotherapists and multidisciplinary team members to define and verify the mobilization “dose.” Negative clinical factors associated with a lower probability of early mobilization in patients undergoing V-V ECMO at day seven have been identified. These factors include the infusion of inotropes and vasopressor agents, a diagnosis of COVID-19, and low-volume center activity (1–5 patients annually).…”

Background and purpose Current information on the latest rehabilitative practices is limited, with previous reviews only covering data up to October 2021, and some considering only patients on awake ECMO or with COVID-19. This review aims to present a concise overview of the latest findings on rehabilitation and highlight emerging trends for patients undergoing ECMO support. Methods This integrative review was conducted by searching the National Library of Medicine – PubMed database. Two different search strings “extracorporeal membrane oxygenation” AND “rehabilitation” and “extracorporeal membrane oxygenation” AND “physiotherapy” were used to search the published literature. Articles that did not describe rehabilitation techniques, editorials, conference proceedings, letters to editor, reviews and research protocols were excluded. Studies conducted on pediatric populations were also excluded. The search process was completed in December 2023. Results Thirteen articles were included in the final analysis. Eight hundred and thirty-nine patients aged between 27 and 63 years were included; 428 were men (51%). In 31% of the included studies, patients had COVID-19; nevertheless, rehabilitative activities did not differ from non-COVID-19 patients. In most studies, rehabilitation commenced within the first 48–96 h and consisted of progressive exercise and out-of-bed activities such as sitting, standing and walking. Conclusion Current practice focuses on rehabilitative protocols that incorporate exercise routines with progressive intensity, greater emphasis on out-of-bed activities, and a multidisciplinary approach to patient mobilization.
