Local Problem A quality improvement initiative was used to evaluate an ambulation protocol for adult intensive care unit patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Adult patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation who walked according to the protocol were compared with a historical control group of patients who walked without the protocol.

Outcomes included adverse safety events, number of patients and ambulation sessions, standing and ambulation time, and distance.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>From January to March 2021, 13 of 46 patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (28%) walked according to the protocol. In the control group, 14 of 147 patients (10%) walked in 2019; 21 of 144 patients (15%) walked in 2020. Some characteristics of the control group (hospitalized before the COVID-19 pandemic) differed from those of the protocol group (hospitalized during the pandemic). Mean number of ambulation sessions was not significantly different between groups (protocol group, 10; control group, 9). Differences in mean standing time (protocol group, 121.23 minutes; control group, 210.80 minutes), ambulation time (protocol group, 11.77 minutes; control group, 198.70 minutes), and ambulation distance were not significant.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Standing time, ambulation time, and distance were not significantly different between the groups.
