Adding to the existing benefits of exercising, a novel research finds exercising a factor for speedy recovery of patients in the intensive care unit.
According to the research, mild exercise can help in lowering use of sedatives as these have to be decreased in order to enable the patient to exercise and reduce the recovery time of severely ill patients in the intensive care unit by more than two to three days.
Dr Dale Needham and his contemporaries from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine initiated the latest study that explored the benefits of mild exercise for critically ill intensive care unit patients.
