“…A variety of active mobilization protocols have been utilized, including active or resistive range of motion (ROM) exercises, sitting on a bed or chair, bed exercise (eg, cycling), dangling, transfers, tilting up (arms supported or unsupported), and ambulating (either assisted or unassisted) [3,29,30,35,37,38]. Early mobilization can be safely initiated on the first day of ICU admission and even during mechanical ventilation [29,35], administration of vasopressors [32,39,48], continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) [49,50], and with femoral catheters in situ [51,52]. The rate of adverse events ranges between 0% and 3%, and the reported adverse events are not usually serious [3,29,30,35,37,38].…”
