The Effects of Physical Therapy-Directed Early Mobilization in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Purpose: This study analyzed evidence of the impact of physical therapy-directed early mobilization (EM) on hospital and pediatric intensive care (PICU) length of stay, and mechanical ventilation days.
Methods: PubMed and CINAHL were searched through January 2023. Studies included non-neonates through 18 years who participated in an EM program led by a physical therapist. Effect sizes and risk ratios were analyzed. Evidence quality of studies was assessed.
Results: Six high-quality studies met the inclusion criteria. There was a statistically significant effect in the between-group analysis on hospital length of stay, PICU length of stay and mechanical ventilation days.
Conclusions: This systematic review and meta-analysis support implementing EM in PICUs to reduce hospital and PICU length of stay, and mechanical ventilation days. This evidence can inform wider adoption of physical therapy-directed EM in PICUs to benefit infants and improve quality healthcare.
期刊介绍:
Pediatric Physical Therapy is an indexed international journal, that publishes peer reviewed research related to the practice of physical therapy for children with movement disorders. The editorial board is comprised of an international panel of researchers and clinical scholars that oversees a rigorous peer review process. The journal serves as the official journal for the pediatric physical therapy professional organizations in the Netherlands, Switzerland, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. The journal includes articles that support evidenced based practice of physical therapy for children with neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory and developmental conditions that lead to disorders of movement, and research reports that contribute to the foundational sciences of pediatric physical therapy, ranging from biomechanics and pediatric exercise science to neurodevelopmental science. To these ends the journal publishes original research articles, systematic reviews directed to specific clinical questions that further the science of physical therapy, clinical guidelines and case reports that describe unusual conditions or cutting edge interventions with sound rationale. The journal adheres to the ethical standards of theInternational Committee of Medical Journal Editors.
