EARLY MOBILIZATION OF INTUBETED PATIENTS IN THE INTENSİVE CARE UNİT AND THE EFFECTS OF EARLY MOBILIZATION ON RESPIRATORY PATTERN AND PATIENT HEMODYNAMICS

The present study was carried out as a quasi-experimental study in order to examine the effects of early mobilization of intubated patients in the intensive care unit and the effects of early mobilization on respiratory pattern and patient hemodynamics. The sample of the study consisted of 25 intubated patients monitored in the intensive care unit at in a private hospital between May 2020 and July 2021. Ethics committee approval and study permission were obtained from the hospital before starting the data collection process. Research data, descriptive data collection form, Richmond- Agitation Sedation Scale (RASS) scale, Muscle Strength Testing (Oxford Scale) and with the mobilization of the patients 45 minute in 30-60 minute including the preparation process, (1st Stage Semi Fowler position, 2nd Stage bedside sitting position, 3rd Stage in the bedside sitting position after mobilization) were registered in the Early Mobilization Follow-up Form and collected. Number and percentage calculations, repeated measurement ANOVA and Post Hoc Sheffe, LSD test analyzes were utilized in the evaluation of the data.
