Mobilisation Readiness

Anaesthesia techniques can influence a patient's capacity to mobilise after surgery. Early mobilisation requires patient-related prerequisites such as haemodynamic stability, respiratory stability, pain control, cognitive readiness, physical readiness, alertness, and ability to participate actively. Early mobilisation implementation depends on organisational factors including protocols, staffing, physiotherapy access, and interprofessional collaboration. Cardiopulmonary disease and frailty can affect mobilisation readiness and safety.
