Early Progressive Mobility in the CVICU: Assessing Current Status
Completed
Conditions studied: Immobility and Weakness Associated With Long Intensive Care Unit Stays
In brief
The current study is proposed to assess the frequency and type of progressive mobility procedures currently performed in the CVICU The study will evaluate the type and frequency of progressive mobility orders, whether or not progressive mobility steps are being taken by the nursing teams, define what steps patients are receiving, and record time to first weight bearing. Other outcome measures will be the days of required mechanical ventilation, and current ICU length of stay and cost to treat.
