Abstract

Immobility in critically ill patients is a common problem in the ICU, and may contribute to the increased length of hospitalization and the onset of weakness in respiratory and peripheral muscles, impairing their function and the quality of life. The objective of this study is to analyze the effects of early mobilization in the ICU. This is a literature review conducted in the electronic databases MEDLINE, SciELO, LILACS, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, PubMed and BIREME. This literature review has shown that early mobilization has been highlighted as an important and effective therapeutic tool in the recovery of critically ill patients. Promotes increased muscular strength as well as physical and psychological benefits and avoid the risks of prolonged hospitalization, reducing the incidence of pulmonary complications and speeding recovery of patients.
