Metabolic and hemodynamic responses to early passive range of motion in sedated critically ill adults
Early PROM exercises in sedated, mechanically ventilated ICU patients induced a quadratic trend in VCO₂ and VO₂, indicating a temporary and reversible metabolic response. PROM does not cause any hemodynamic instability. It accelerates the elimination of metabolic waste and can be used as part of early rehabilitation protocols.
