WHY EARLY MOBILITY? • Muscle strength declines 3-11% with each day of bedrest. • ICU Acquired Weakness (ICUAW) can start within the first few days of critical illness. • ICUAW can lead to immobility and result in loss of strength, endurance, and bulk. • Immobility contributes to poor performance on falls and hospital acquired pressure ulcers. Morbidity, mortality, length of stay (LOS) and cost of care may • be affected by ICUAW. • Developing a culture of early mobility as standard care can improve patient outcomes.
ABCDEF AND EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE ABCDEF is a standard bundle of ICU measures that includes spontaneous…… Assessment for and manage pain Both Spontaneous Awakening Trials (SAT) and Spontaneous Breathing Trials (SBT) Choice of sedation and analgesia Delirium monitoring and management Early mobility Family engagement ICU Delirium and Cognitive Impairment Study Group Gordon R.

PURPOSE The purpose of this project was to increase early mobility and make it standard care in the Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) to improve patient outcomes through a campaign “Strong Today, Stronger Tomorrow MICU Early Mobility.”
STRATEGY AND IMPLEMENTATION • Awareness increased with Early Mobility Protocol, using Johns Hopkins Highest Level of Mobility (JH-HLM) Scale • Education created for all bedside nurses, care partners, respiratory, physical and occupational therapy. • Nurses presented patient’s mobility during morning rounds with ICU team to facilitate orders. To ensure patients were being mobilize, an early mobility tracker (JH- • HLM scale) was used to monitor daily mobility. (3 month time period) • This scale was completed during every shift. Educational handouts for families regarding passive ROM • Evaluation metrics include: 1) Staff perceptions of early mobility 2) Quality metrics of unit acquired pressure ulcers and falls. The campaign was launched in Nov 2016.

RESULTS • Daily mobilization of 65.85% (349/550) 90 MICU staff responded to the baseline survey, 34 completed the 6-month • follow up. • There was an improvement in staff belief in ability to safely mobilize patients ( X 2 , p < .001) • Patients mobilized once a shift more often ( X 2 , P = .068). • Monthly fall and pressure ulcer rates declined post implementation. 1 year post implementation - Average patients mobilized once a shift - 88% •

IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Use of multiple strategies to improve a culture of Early Mobility was successful in hardwiring early mobility as standard care and increased ownership among nursing staff. These strategies (education, monitoring, reminders and feedback) may be used to improve other problems that affect patient outcomes. Printed with permission
