Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1.Age more than or equal to 18 years. 2.ICU patients with mechanically ventilation or non-ventilated. 3.Hemodynamically stable which implies MAP more than or equal to 65 mmHg and no escalating vasopressors. 4.Expected ICU stay of more than 72 hours.

Exclusion criteria: 1.Severe hemodynamic instability requiring high-dose vasopressors. 2.Active spinal precautions or recent spinal injury. 3.Therapeutic paralysis requiring neuromuscular blockade use. 5.Patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation 6.Pregnant patients. 7.Patients expected to die within 48 hours of ICU admission.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the impact of nurse-led early mobilization on functional recovery at hospital discharge, measured using the Functional Independence Measure (FIM)Timepoint: At icu discharge (2wks) and hospital discharge.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Assess improvements in: Physical function at ICU discharge using the Physical Function ICU Test (PFIT-s). Muscle strength using the Medical Research Council (MRC) sum score. Exercise capacity using the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) at hospital discharge. ICU-acquired weakness (ICUAW) incidence. Delirium incidence using the CAM-ICU score. Duration of mechanical ventilation. ICU & hospital length of stayTimepoint: At ICU discharge(2wks) & at hospital discharge
