Description
Enriquez Popayan and co-authors build expert consensus on when lab values should stop early mobilization of critically ill patients. Getting ICU patients moving early fights weakness and shortens stays, yet wards improvise safety cutoffs. A modified Delphi panel of 24 senior ICU clinicians, therapists, and nurses voted through eight rounds to at least 85 percent agreement.
They settled 119 items across six domains, naming thresholds for blood counts, lactate, glucose, clotting, acidity, and potassium in varied situations. Two fresh rules stand out. Pause mobilization during blood transfusions until they finish. And treat a hemoglobin drop of two points in a day, or a platelet fall of a fifth, as stop signs even if values still look normal.
