Welcome to another episode of the Mobility Minute Podcast - actually the 10th and final episode of Season 1. We've had some wonderful guests throughout the first season from traveling nurses to an ergonomics expert to a patient experiencing a blood clot and subsequent pulmonary embolism. We've covered a lot. Thank you to our listeners, guests, and those who may be listening for the first time. This podcast is a place for thoughtful discussion on patient mobility and how mobility factors into recovery.
Today, we speak with critical care nurse, Alison Cassina. In the ICU, mobility can fall down the priority list (and for good reason). Oftentimes bedside caregivers are unsure which direction to take when starting the rehabilitation journey for a patient. Critical care nurse, Alison Cassina knows this reality firsthand and has prioritized mobility for even the most acutely ill patients. She shares with us her team's approach to mobility with an ECMO patient who had to prove a certain standard of mobility before receiving a lung transplant.
All of this and more on the Mobility Minute Podcast!
