Patient auf dem Mobilizer® Medior

Early mobilization in the intensive care unit

According to the recommendation of the guideline “Positioning therapy and early mobilization for the prophylaxis or therapy of pulmonary dysfunction” of the German Society for Anesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine, every patient for whom no exclusion criteria apply should be mobilized twice a day for 20 minutes each, algorithm-supported, within the first 72 h after admission to the ICU.
The aim is to counteract the negative effects of immobility [1], such as neuromuscular and scelletal atrophy, psychological stress, deconditioning of the cardiovascular system and respiratory system. An estimated 5% of infected patients become severely ill and often present with respiratory disease with massive oxygenation disturbance leading to respiratory global insufficiency, ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) [3].

Nursing wheelchairs for transport, care and mobilization

Our care wheelchairs Gertrud and Laura are suitable for transport as well as for the care and mobilization of physically impaired persons. Despite their robustness and functionality, the individualization is not lost and brings color into everyday life. Choose from nine different colours and integrate the nursing wheelchair into the appearance of the facility.

The vibration module in practice

In our article, we will go into the mode of operation and the advantages of successful stimulation by the vibration module. First, the patient is verticalized (straightened up). It is recommended to put the patient in a position where the seat inclination is at least 10° forward. A complete standing position is desirable, but not a prerequisite for successful stimulation. The sensory system can also be stimulated while the patient is lying or sitting. Studies show that local increased blood flow (primarily in the sole of the foot and lower leg) is initiated via the deep tissue stimulation. This leads to a stimulation of the musculature and the bone metabolism. Vibration or sound waves hit muscles, tendons and nerves and trigger a tonic vibration reflex (TVR).

Mediroth donates mobilisation chair

For us as a medical technology company, it is always something special when we hear or read that employees want nothing more than our product.

Early mobilization

The term early mobilisation is used to describe all measures to move and activate patients as early as possible.
Das beginnt nicht erst mit dem Essen an der Bettkante und der Körperpflege am Waschbecken. Oder einfacher ausgedrückt: Jede Maßnahme der aktiven oder passiven Bewegung, die geeignet ist, die Bewegungsfähigkeit zu erhalten.

Im Bereich der Intensivmedizin soll die Frühmobilisierung bereits 72 Stunden* nach Aufnahme auf einer Intensivstation beginnen.
*S2e-Leitlinie – „Lagerungstherapie und Frühmobilisation zur Prophylaxe oder Therapie von pulmonalen Funktionsstörungen“

Our field service – professionals in care and early mobilisation

Who doesn’t know them – sales representatives. They know every product detail, the history of each individual component and can tell flowery stories about the benefits of their product. Our sales force can do that too – but they’d much rather demonstrate our products at your site – on the patient!

As a medical technology manufacturing company, we consistently rely on local synergies.

Our in-house development department for mechanical and electronic components works on the continuous further development of our products.
