Overcoming Barriers to Early Mobility with Dr. Dale Needham

Dr. Dale Needham Part 2

Early Mobility in the Intensive Care Unit is safe and beneficial for patients. However, there are many barriers that can be challenging to overcome. Dr. Needham is the senior author on a recent review of barriers and strategies to help integrate Early Mobility into routine clinical care.
(Dubb et al. Barriers and Strategies for Early Mobilization of Patients in Intensive Care Units. 

Annals ATS 2016 (May); 13(5): 724-730). www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26829589

Learning from Space Environments

NASA Early Mobility
  • Studies on Astronauts and space induced elimination of Gravity (Gz-head to toe gravity) versus bed rest elimination of gravity (even though Gx-transverse gravity) still occurs, showed remarkably similar physiological impairments as a result of BED REST ALONE

  • Even in healthy, peak fitness astronauts

  • Critical illness complexity of dysfunction 

What difference does a day make?

A huge difference!  Start mobilizing day one!
