Importance of Early Mobilization in Pediatric ICUs
Early mobilization in pediatric ICUs focuses on shifting the focus from hospital-centric outcomes to patient-centered outcomes. This approach is crucial for children's recovery from critical illness and helping them return to their baseline functional status. Studies have shown that early mobilization is associated with improved outcomes, including decreased length of ICU and hospital stays, improvements in functional status, and decreases in delirium. There is a need for further large-scale studies to explore the impact of early mobilization on functional status.
