Abstract in brief

The study shows that early activity, such as sitting, chair sitting, and walking, is both feasible and safe for patients with respiratory failure who are on mechanical ventilation in a respiratory ICU.
During the study, 1449 activity sessions were conducted on 103 patients with only one minor adverse event reported, indicating low risk.
Most patients who survived were able to walk at least 100 feet by the time they left the ICU, suggesting that early activity could help prevent muscle weakness and improve recovery in critically ill patients.
