1 UCSF ICU Early Mobility Program Presented by Heidi Engel, PT, DPT Background One full time Physical Therapist started in 9 ICU in March 2010 to begin a program of providing early physical Rehabilitation to critically ill patients as soon as they are medically stabilized, close to their admission to the ICU and consistently throughout their ICU stay. A full description of this initial program was published in the Physical Therapy Journal in July 2013 Due to the successful decreased length of stay and improved outcomes for discharge disposition experienced by the patients receiving early physical activity in the ICU, the program was expanded from 9 ICU to 13 ICU in We now provide physical therapy to the majority of our patients in both Medical Surgical ICUs within 1 to 2 days of their admission to the ICU and 70% of those patients seen for Physical Therapy in the ICU walk as part of their activity in the ICU. The primary reason for patients receiving PT in the ICU to not participate in walking there is that they were not able to walk prior to their admission. Preliminary statistical analysis of our current PT practice in the ICU shows the greatest barrier we have to providing this treatment responsible for: reducing delirium, reducing pulmonary complications, reducing weakness, reducing need for long physical rehabilitation, and improving overall patient satisfaction, is sedation practice. At this time, ICU early mobility is a key component of the Critical Care Innovations our collaborative inter professional group is bringing to our critically ill patients to help them not just survive, but return to the life they knew and led before their acute illness, to improve the quality of care we provide, bring more quality of life to Critical Care. We are part of the Society of Critical Care Medicine ICU Liberation group and are engaged in teaching the practice of ICU early physical rehabilitation to providers of critical care across the country. Abstract from Physical Therapy Journal July 2013: Background. Long term weakness and disability are common after an intensive care unit (ICU) stay. Usual care in the ICU prevents most patients from receiving preventative early mobilization. Objective. The study objective was to describe a quality improvement project established by a physical therapist at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center from 2009 to

2 2011. The goal of the program was to reduce patients ICU length of stay by increasing the number of patients in the ICU receiving physical therapy and decreasing the time from ICU admission to physical therapy initiation. Design. This study was a 9 month retrospective analysis of a quality improvement project. Methods. An inter professional ICU Early Mobilization Group established and promoted guidelines for mobilizing patients in the ICU. A physical therapist was dedicated to a 16 bed medical surgical ICU to provide physical therapy to selected patients within 48 hours of ICU admission. Patients receiving early physical therapy intervention in the ICU in 2010 were compared with patients receiving physical therapy under usual care practice in the same ICU in Results. From 2009 to 2010, the number of patients receiving physical therapy in the ICU increased from 179 to 294. The median times (interquartile ranges) from ICU admission to physical therapy evaluation were 3 days (9 days) in 2009 and 1 day (2 days) in The ICU length of stay decreased by 2 days, on average, and the percentage of ambulatory patients discharged to home increased from 55% to 77%. Limitations. This study relied upon the retrospective analysis of data from 6 collectors, and the intervention lacked physical therapy coverage for 7 days per week. Conclusions. The improvements in outcomes demonstrated the value and feasibility of a physical therapist led early mobilization program. Abstract from Critical Care Medicine September, 2013: Objective: To compare and contrast the process used to implement an early mobility program in ICUs at three different medical centers and to assess their impact on clinical outcomes in critically ill patients. Design: Three ICU early mobilization quality improvement projects are summarized utilizing the Institute for Healthcare Improvement framework of Plan Do Study Act. Intervention: Each of the three ICU early mobilization programs required an inter professional team based approach to plan, educate, and implement the ICU early mobility program. Champion from each profession nursing, physical therapy, physician, and respiratory care were identified to facilitate changes in ICU culture and clinical practice and to identify and address barriers to early mobility program implementation at each institution.

3 Setting: The medical ICU at Wake Forest University, the medical ICU at Johns Hopkins Hospital, and the mixed medical surgical ICU at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center. Results: Establishing an ICU early mobilization quality improvement program resulted in a reduced ICU and hospital length of stay at all three institutions and decreased rates of delirium and the need for sedation for the patients enrolled in the Johns Hopkins ICU early mobility program. Conclusion: Instituting a planned, structured ICU early mobility quality improvement project can result in improved outcomes and reduced costs for ICU patients across healthcare systems.

8 UCSF EXCLUSION CRITERIA/GUIDELINES (think of these as a yellow light, not a red light) Patients with immediate plans to transfer to outside hospital Patients who require significant doses of vasopressors for hemodynamic stability (maintain MAP> 60) Mechanically ventilated patients who require FiO2.8 and/or PEEP >12, or have acutely worsening respiratory failure Patients maintained on neuromuscular paralytics Patients in an acute neurological event (CVA,SAH, ICH) with reassessment for mobility every 24 hours Patients unresponsive to verbal stimuli Patients with unstable spine or extremity fractures Patients with a grave prognosis transferring to comfort care Patients with a femoral dialysis catheter Patients with open abdomen, at risk for dehiscence We have exclusion guidelines and a mobility practice policy for our ICUs, but the guidelines are considered a "yellow light" rather than a "red light". The patients who demonstrate some of the critical conditions listed in our exclusion guidelines are the patients we need to approach with caution, to stop and think, to discuss with the RN, RT, MD and make clinical decisions based on input from the entire team. It becomes a democratic forum with all opinions weighted equally toward that decision. This is a more dynamic and flexible practice of collaborative care than we have followed in the past in the ICU, but essential for our Rehabilitative process to be effective and meaningful for the patients.
