When working with a patient in the ICU, tell the patient what you are planning to do before you begin. The clinician could say "Good morning, Mr. Smith. We're going to try to get you out of bed today. Okay?" Next, the clinician identifies and traces all lines, making sure they are free of impingement.
If there are lines that can be safely disconnected during the treatment session, the clinician works with the nurse to disconnect them. Instruct the patient to do as much of the movement as safely as possible. When the patient attempts to sit up at the side of the bed, the clinician should provide assistance at proximal points of contact, such as the pelvis and the shoulder.
Check to see how the patient is feeling. The patient may feel dizzy or nauseated. Be aware of the lines' positions, and offer verbal reassurance during the transfer. Assist with the transfer if needed, maintaining awareness of the location of the leads, lines, and tubes.
Check again to see whether the patient is feeling dizzy or nauseated.
