Feasibility and Safety of Early Mobilization and Rehabilitation in Intensive Care Unit Patients

"In the initial assessment will be applied the ICU Mobility Scale, with the objective of establishing the patient\'s current level of function and determining the most appropriate type, intensity and duration of activity.~The sessions, which will be conducted by a physiotherapist, will include therapeutic strategies such as bed exercises (both active and passive), electrical stimulation, use of an in-bed cycloergometer (for upper and lower limbs), sitting on the edge of the bed, bed transfers, bedside transfers from bed to chair, out-of-bed exercises, standing, and walking. The latter two activities are considered to be the most complex. Each session will last approximately 20 to 30 minutes and will be conducted once a day, on a daily basis throughout the patient\'s ICU stay. The last session wil be prior to discharge of the patient.~During each session, the Borg Perception of Exertion Scale will be assessed in order to adjust the intensity of physical activity."
