The value of Early Rehabilitation in an Intensive Care Unit

The concept of value in health represents an innovative model for providing and financing health care, with the aim of achieving greater involvement and accountability of all stakeholders, who thus contribute, synergistically and actively, to improving the health of each person and optimizing the functioning of health systems. Excellence in rehabilitation nursing care adds to health gains in all contexts of practice, expressed in the prevention of disabilities and the recovery of each person's remaining abilities. Early rehabilitation in critically ill patients was recently recommended by the 2018 Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Prevention and Management of Pain, Agitation/Sedation, Delirium, Immobility and Sleep Disruption in Adult Patients in the ICU (PADIS), as it is a safe practice with potential added value, both in terms of patient outcomes and costs for the organization.
