Introduction: The prolonged stay in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) compromises the functionality and quality of life of patients. Physical exercise can contribute to improving functional status and accelerating return to activities. Objective: to assess the safety of patient mobilization in the ICU, describing the hemodynamic and respiratory
conditions and the occurrence of adverse effects. Methods: This is an uncontrolled, “before and after” study, carried out with 42 patients hospitalized in the ICU, submitted to mobilization through passive kinesiotherapy, active kinesiotherapy, seating and walking. In addition to epidemiological and clinical data, the adverse effects of mobilization were evaluated. Hemodynamic and respiratory variables were measured at the bedside, at three times: before, during and immediately after mobilization. Results: Elderly patients (65.8±13.7 years), predominantly women (59.5%), with a clinical admission diagnosis (64.3%) were studied. Patients on mechanical ventilation predominantly performed passive kinesiotherapy (57.1%) and those on spontaneous ventilation predominantly performed seating (28.6%) and walking (28.6%). Among the adverse effects, there was an unsatisfactory ventilatory muscle pattern (7.1%), peripheral oxygen saturation less than 90% (4.8%), and changes in blood pressure (7.1%). There was no record of changes in heart rate, accidental extubation or loss of venous access during mobilizations, as well as changes in hemodynamic, respiratory and oxygenation behavior before, during and after mobilization were not observed. Conclusion: physical exercises proved to be safe, viable in any clinical environment, respecting safety limits, and may bring potential benefits to patients admitted to the ICU.
