Why the study?
The study was conducted to evaluate evidence on the benefits of early mobilization in post-cardiac surgery patients.
Does early mobilization improve outcomes and reduce complications in post-cardiac surgery patients?
Population
Post-cardiac surgery patients across included studies
Comparison
Early mobilization vs standard care or comparator
Design
Systematic review following PRISMA methodology
Key result
Early mobilization in post-cardiac surgery patients is safe, improves functional capacity, decreases hospital stay and associated complications, and prevents neuromuscular and cognitive disorders.

Supports routine early mobilization post-cardiac surgery; confirms Level 1 evidence of shorter stays and fewer complications, strengthening guidelines.
Systematic Review
Does early mobilization improve outcomes and reduce complications in post-cardiac surgery patients?
Early mobilization in post-cardiac surgery patients is safe and associated with improved functional capacity, shorter hospital stays, and fewer complications.
MCE Eloisa Beatriz del Socorro Puch Ku (2021) conducted a systematic review in Postoperative cardiac surgery. Early mobilization vs. Late mobilization or bed rest was evaluated on Postoperative complications, functional capacity, and length of hospital stay. Early mobilization in post-cardiac surgery patients is safe, improves functional capacity, decreases hospital stay and associated complications, and prevents neuromuscular and cognitive disorders.
