Introduction
Intensive Care Unit has been known as an assigned area and a second setting for where critically
ill patients admitted from hospitals and from the care and treatment they received from ICU
health worker, leads them to survive but there are often factors that may affect or worsen their
situation such due to immobility, and one of the factor that impact the considered one of frequent
part of treatment of ICU patient treatment. Hippocrates may have implied that pain is relieved by
bed rest, but modern day researcher’s have been systematically found out that bed rest can

Length of stay (LOS) of ICU patient can be a measure of resource in utilizing the effectiveness
among most diagnosis. LOS has been documented as short as 24 hours and as long as 132 days

the effectiveness of an early mobilization protocol was investigated in order to validate the
development of an evidence-based progressive mobility protocol. This chapter will review the
days, healthcare acquired complications, hospital length of stay (LOS), and overall cost of care;
these protocols also increase functionality, quality of life, and patient outcomes (Adler &
Malone, 2012; Morris et al., 2008; Olkowski et al., 2015; Schweickert et al., 2009).

third-party payers, and capitated healthcare delivery systems. Results from this study concluded
that “the total net present value over a seven-year time horizon of an EMP for a US hospital with
1000 yearly ICU admissions exceeds $2.3m” (p. 1). In addition, the yearly cost of care savings
generated by reducing ICU LOS and numbers of days on the ventilator was approximately
$927,000. Finally, the impact of EMPs on hospital readmission rates saves an additional $93,000

effective.
Cameron S. et al.,(2015). Early mobilization of critically ill patients is beneficial, suggesting that
it should be incorporated into daily clinical practice. Early passive, active, and combined
progressive mobilizations can be safely initiated in intensive care units (ICUs). Adult patients
receiving early mobilization have fewer ventilator-dependent days, shorter ICU and hospital
stays, and better functional outcomes. Pediatric ICU data are limited, but recent studies also
suggest that early mobilization is achievable without increasing patient risk. In this review, we
provide a current and comprehensive appraisal of ICU mobilization techniques in both adult and
pediatric critically ill patients. Contraindications and perceived barriers to early mobilization,
including cost and health care provider views, are identified. Methods of overcoming barriers to
Hoffman TC et al., (2018). There is insufficient evidence on the effect of early mobilization of
critically ill people in the ICU on physical function or performance, adverse events, muscle
strength and health-related quality of life at this time. The four studies awaiting classification,
and the three ongoing studies may alter the conclusions of the review once these results are
available. We assessed that there is currently low-quality evidence for the effect of early
mobilization of critically ill adults in the ICU due to small sample sizes, lack of blinding of
participants and personnel, variation in the interventions and outcomes used to measure their
effect and inadequate descriptions of the interventions delivered as usual care in the studies
Zhang el et al., (2019). Physical therapy can prevent functional impairments and improve the
quality of life of patients after hospital discharge. However, the effect of early mobilization on
patients with a critical illness remains unclear. This study was performed to assess the evidence
available regarding the effect of early mobilization on critically ill patients in the intensive care
unit (ICU).
Methodology
The primary hypothesis of this study state, critically ill patient from ICU who participates in an
early mobilization protocols or activities can have a shorter LOS and a decreased cost of care.
While secondary hypothesis includes patient in ICU had fewer medical complication with early
mobilization.
The methodology of this study focuses on articles review. The name of website and articles was
used for full text articles. Google also has been used in searching in order to find and locate the
articles to be used in collecting and synthesizing data analysis. Key terms used in the search
include ICU and early mobilization, and critical patient, length of stay. The three article entitled
(1. Early intervention (mobilization or active exercise) for critically ill adults in Intensive Care
unit, 2. An early tailored intervention is the key to effective rehabilitation in the Intensive Care
Unit, 3. Patient early mobilization: A Malaysia's study of nursing practices) was explored and
from these original articles, primary and secondary data were included and relevant data among
those three articles were selected after review of abstract was performed to measure and prove
the effectiveness of an early mobilization protocols toward ICU patient. These articles were
Discussion:
This chapter aimed to discuss the method used in conceptualizing the analysis based on the three
reviewed article were data was collected. This study hypothesized that applying early
mobilization protocol to critically ill patient would be correlated with decreased pressure sore
incidence with affecting the decreased length of patient stay in ICU. In addition, when
implementing an early mobilization protocol in intensive care unit, total costs where shown to
decrease as well as fewer medical related complications were noted. There is quite evidence that
shows the effectiveness of an early mobilization protocol towards ICU patient. Early
mobilization should become a standard of care for critically ill and unstable patient in the
Critically ill Intensive Care Unit Patient length of stay was reduced with statistical significance
intensive care unit stay indicated savings potential with early mobilization. Applying an early
mobilization protocol to a critically ill patient was shown to decreased patient situation such risk
Conclusion:
Early mobilization protocols has been potentially proven effectively and safe to used in
providing health care to a critically ill patient from Intensive Care Unit as evidence by reducing
length of stay and medical complication. In addition, early mobilization towards critically ill
patient would likely benefit in improving the continuous development of patient health status,
hospitals and insurance companies. Because of its benefits, early mobilization protocol should
become a considered one of effective standard of care for patient health workers particularly in
