The Effect of Early Mobilization Techniques on Meliorating Fatigue and Physical Activity Tolerance of Patients Admitted to Cardiac Intensive Care Units
Quasi-experimental design shows early mobilization improves fatigue and physical activity tolerance in CABG patients, suggesting enhanced recovery methods.
Key Points
Early mobilization significantly reduced fatigue levels in patients, supporting recovery post-CABG surgery.
Fatigue dropped from 6.65 on day 0 to 4.40 on day 2 in the intervention group, with p<0.001 indicating strong efficacy.
Quasi-experimental analysis utilized VAS-F and Borg scale for evaluating fatigue and physical activity tolerance, demonstrating evidence-based results.
These findings encourage further implementation of early mobilization practices in cardiac intensive care settings for better patient outcomes.
