Core Tip

Core Tip: Intensive care unit (ICU) activity scale-guided graded rehabilitation interventions significantly shortened the tracheal intubation time and ICU stay, lower complication rates, and improved the activity scores of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. This suggests that the ICU Activity Scale has a positive clinical application value in promoting early recovery after cardiac surgery.
