Safety and early mobilization in intensive care unit patients: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Initiating mobilization within 72 hours of ICU admission is associated with improved functional outcomes and reduced ICU length of stay and ventilation duration. These findings indicate that EM may be a safe option for ICU patients, contributing to lower recovery times and healthcare costs. Further extensive research is required to validate the long-term effects on survival and QOL.
