Early Mobilization in Cardiovascular Units
Sponsor: Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation of Greater Montreal
Summary
Insufficient mobility contributes to functional decline in hospitalized cardiac patients. Early mobilization programs were shown to improve functional status, increase the likelihood of home discharges, and reduce the length of stay \[1\]. Therefore, there is a need to adapt and implement early mobilization programs in Quebec hospitals. The overall goal of this study is to adapt and implement an early mobilization program in the Cardiovascular units of the Jewish General Hospital (JGH).

Interventions
Applying the Early Mobilization Program
A mobilization intervention based on the level of function (LOF) ( i.e. patients should be assessed for mobilization status within 24 hours of admission; mobilization should occur at least three times a day, and mobility should be progressive and scaled, tailored to the patient's abilities); The frequency of patient mobilization (primary outcome) will be assessed 20 weeks before implementation, during the 20 weeks of implementation and 20 weeks after the end of implementation (60 weeks in total).
