Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes
Early mobility interventions in intensive care units (ICUs) are safe and improve patient outcomes in subsets of critically ill adults, and many institutions have created ICU mobility programs. However, the optimal amount of mobility to influence patient outcomes remains unclear due to the heterogeneity of ICU patient populations (other than in randomized controlled trials) and a lack of standardized quantitative reporting of mobility interventions. The objective of this study was to test for associations between having more daily out-of-bed mobility events for ICU patients. Having more daily out-of-bed mobility events was associated with shorter mechanical ventilation duration and hospital stays, suggesting a dose-response relationship between daily mobility and patient outcomes.Learners must complete the entire activity and the associated evaluation AND read Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes.
