Prior to any patient mobilization, ensure there are enough qualified staff available, the patient has consented to the treatment plan, and the patient's goals have been identified and effectively communicated between patient, staff and family.
WHAT TO MONITOR DURING MOBILIZATION FOR PATIENT SAFETY
Staff should be available to monitor patient signs and symptoms, and the need for O2
Ensure supplemental oxygen and tubing are nearby to administer if SpO2 drops below 88%

The purpose of this document is to provide recently graduated or returning clinicians working in acute care settings with guidance on safe and effective mobilization of the hospitalized patient with an acute exacerbation of COPD. This decision-making tool is evidence- and expert-informed. It is not intended to replace the clinician’s clinical reasoning skills and interprofessional collaboration. Prior to any patient mobilization, ensure there are enough qualified staff available, the patient has consented to the treatment plan, and the patient’s goals have been identified and effectively communicated between patient, staff and family.
