GAREGNANI, Luis Ignacio. Movilización precoz en pacientes en ventilación mecánica: Una revisión narrativa. Rev. am. med. respir. [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.1, pp.33-41. ISSN 1852-236X.

New strategies for management of critically ill patients on mechanical ventilation have led to an increase in survival and the incidence of complications, including muscular weakness. The late is associated with longer duration of mechanical ventilation, longer duration of weaning process, longer intensive care unit and hospital stay and poor functional status at hospital discharge. In view of these findings, early mobilization protocols have been proposed in order to reduce the negative impact that muscular weakness has on patients receiving mechanical ventilation.
