Brief Summary:
Recent decreases in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) mortality rates have been offset by increased morbidity and length of stay for vulnerable young patients. Heavy sedation, bedrest, and delirium contribute to a PICU culture of immobility. While studies in adult ICU patients demonstrate the clinical benefits of early mobilization, fewer than 25% of critically ill children mobilize early in the children's PICU stay. The investigators have demonstrated the safety and feasibility of the 'PICU Up!' Mobility Program, which integrates sleep promotion, delirium prevention, sedation optimization as a bundle to increase mobilization. However, the generalizability and broader impact on patient- and family-centered outcomes is unknown. Therefore, there is an urgent need for trials that blend both clinical effectiveness and implementation research to create a PICU culture of mobility and improve the value of PICU care. The overall objective of the proposed research is to determine the impact of a transdisciplinary and multifaceted early mobility program on clinical outcomes and ICU-acquired morbidities in critically ill children. Additionally, the investigators will identify barriers and facilitators to high-performance bundle adoption.
