Popis: Patients undergoing critical illness and mechanical ventilation are at risk of developing neuromuscular and neurocognitive impairments that can impact physical function and quality of life. Mobilizing patients early in the course of critical illness may improve outcomes. Recent literature on early mobilization is reviewed, suggestions for implementation are discussed, and areas for future research are identified.
