Immobility is a critical risk factor for postoperative complications and increases hospital length of stay.2 Complications induced by longer periods of immobility can persist for years after the patient’s discharge3 – hence, patients could benefit from a goal-directed and early mobilisation. Stable patients in the ICU are able to participate in mobilisation activities.1
Barriers to early mobilisation in the ICU include difficulties in handling traditional chest drains. Moreover, even if the patient can be mobilised with a chest drain, this requires disconnection of suction during mobilisation and reattachment afterwards. This can lead to an infection risk because of handling mistakes.7
The following infographic summarises the negative consequences of bed rest in the hospital and the effect of early mobilisation on a patient’s recovery time.
Early mobilisation is enhanced by using a portable, digital chest drain such as Thopaz+ instead of a traditional water-seal system:
Rehabilitation and early mobilisation are considered therapeutic strategies to prevent the development of intensive care unit acquired weakness (ICUAW). They are associated with an increased probability of walking more distance at discharge. The main patient mobilisation techniques used are kinesitherapy, transfer and locomotion training, as well as neuromuscular electrical stimulation and cycle ergometry.5
In a clinical study, patients and nurses completed a survey of postoperative chest drain-specific PROs (=Patient-Reported Outcomes). Patients with digital chest drainage reported better scores in all 20 questions asked, and the nurses caring for them also reported better scores for DCD (=digital chest drainage) in 8 of the 10 questions asked.9
