Abstract in brief

A quality improvement program called PICU Up was implemented in a U.S. pediatric ICU to promote early mobilization in critically ill children, and it was found to be safe and feasible without causing adverse events.
The intervention led to increased consultations with physical and occupational therapists, more early mobilization activities like bed positioning and walking, and a higher median number of mobilizations per patient by day 3 of ICU stay.
The program was well received by staff, although equipment availability was the main barrier, highlighting that structured, tiered mobilization strategies can effectively enhance patient activity and potentially improve recovery in the pediatric ICU setting.]
