Multicenter StudyPrevalence of Acute Rehabilitation for Kids in the PICU: A Canadian Multicenter Point Prevalence Study.
To evaluate mobilization practices, barriers, and mobility-related adverse events in Canadian PICUs. ⋯ Mobilization is common and safe, and the majority of children in Canadian PICUs are being mobilized out-of-bed, even when mechanically ventilated. Family engagement in PICU-based rehabilitation is increasing. This study provides encouraging evidence that common barriers can be overcome in order to safely mobilize children in PICUs.
