Video Summary

In this video, Brenda Morrow, a clinician scientist with a physiotherapy background, discusses the importance of early mobility and family engagement in the pediatric ICU (PICU). She explains that while mortality rates in the PICU have been declining, simply being alive is not the same as being able to live life to the fullest. Immobility can have adverse effects on organ systems and may lead to short-term and long-term complications. Morrow emphasizes the need to incorporate movement and active exercise into critical care to improve outcomes, reduce PICU stay duration, and allow children to function appropriately after discharge. She recommends early mobilization should be commenced as early as possible after admission, and all patients admitted to the PICU should be assessed for early mobility intervention. She also discusses the importance of family engagement and involvement in care, as it can provide comfort, reassurance, and facilitate parent-child bonding. Overall, early mobilization and family engagement have significant benefits for both children and parents in the PICU.
