ICU - Early Mobilization

In bed rehabilitation can be initiated during stay in ICU

Early mobilization in ICU is beneficial for patients and nurses as it lowers costs, enhances patient outcomes, and reduces nurse burnout.

Safe and simple exercise

Using a BedBike is a safe and simple approach to implement early mobilization since it takes just 10 seconds to get started and is cost-effective.

The BedBike is much less costly than an ICU day for a patient.

Hospitals seeking to improve patient outcomes while cutting healthcare costs should consider investing in a BedBike.

Research shows that getting patients out of bed quickly reduces their stay in the ICU, leading to better outcomes and reduced risk of readmission.

Reviews from Critical Care Nurses and Patients in ICU

 -Following an extensive cardiac surgery and while still receiving support from an Impella 5.5, our ICU patient was able to utilize the bed bike while in bed. This helped to facilitate earlier mobility and liberation from the ventilator. Without the bed bike, this patient would not have ambulated as early and his length of stay in the ICU would have been prolonged.

The bedbike is located in our ICU, but we have heard patients are asking to utilizing it after transferring out of the ICU.  They found that the bed bike helped them regain their strength and put them on a path back to their normal activity level.

The Bike has given me feelings of hope, of self worth. The bike helps reduce my anxiety, especially when I am alone. It keeps me preoccupied where I can focus on my recovery.

"So far, feedback from patients has been exclusively positive. They report feeling more refreshed postoperatively, experiencing less dizziness, reduced restlessness in the legs, and some have even felt an improvement in their postoperative pain. Typically, they have used it for about 5 to 15 minutes at a moderate intensity."

While our bed bike has been successful in facilitating early mobility, we have also found it beneficial for patients who may be restless. It provides them with a healthy diversional activity and an outlet for their energy.
