The Effect of Early Mobilization on Sleep, Physiological Parameters, and Length of Stay in ICU

Essentially, early mobilization practices consist of two parts: in-bed and out-of-bed. In-bed mobilization; Active-passive joint range of motion (ROM) Exercises include raising the head in bed, turning in bed, in-bed exercises and sitting at the end of the bed. Out-of-bed mobilization includes the process of transferring from bed to chair, standing up, and returning to bed after standing up. In studies conducted on cardiac surgery, the early mobilization period is the first 12 hours.
