How Early ICU Rehabilitation Enhances Patient’s Participation in Acute Rehabilitation

Description: Advances in early mobility in the intensive care unit (ICU) result from interprofessional collaboration. Medical teams are focusing their therapies through the lens of optimizing participation in therapies. Therapists are enhancing their knowledge to prescribe doses of exercise for the critically ill. Early rehabilitation focuses on cognitive, physical and emotional challenges to foster better outcomes. This course will define how early rehabilitation in the ICU prepares patients to participate in acute inpatient rehabilitation.

Objectives: Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to: 

  • Identify the roles of the physician, nurse and therapies to improve patient outcomes in the ICU.
  • Apply how each professional role can be enhanced with collaborative practices.
  • Relate the role of early mobility on limiting comorbidities related to critical illness.
  • Relate the presentation of comorbidities on potential to participate in an acute rehabilitation program.
