Table 2 shows the percentage of patients who were able to walk the scheduled distance
on postoperative day 3 following implementation of enforced mobilisation. Almost half of the
patients (46%) were able to walk the scheduled distance on postoperative day 1, increasing to
90% on postoperative day 3. The most common reasons for deviation from the protocol were
extreme nausea, pain, dizziness and diarrhoea. No adverse events related to mobilisation were
reported. At least 50% of patients who underwent colorectal, liver or stomach surgery were
able to walk the scheduled distance on postoperative day 1. Forty-eight percent of the patients
that received ‘other’ surgery (mainly resection of abdominal metastases or heated
intraperitoneal chemotherapy) were able to walk the scheduled distance on postoperative day
1. As these percentages are close to 50%, the enforced mobilisation protocol was regarded as
feasible for these types of surgery. However, none of the patients who underwent oesophageal
resection were able to walk on postoperative day 1, and three out of five patients walked on
postoperative day 3. The main reasons for the inability of these patients to walk on
postoperative day 1 were admission to the ICU after surgery, drainage of the pleural space by
means of a chest tube, and haemodynamic instability.
