In this systemic review and meta-analysis on early mobilization in the ICU, Paton et al. find no significant effect on days alive and out of hospital. However, they find a possibility that it might increase mortality and adverse events. https://t.co/NrzDi7Y5KY#CriticalCare pic.twitter.com/mOW6BF44qx
