Core Tip This scoping review summarizes the current evidence of the effects of early mobilization on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and veno-arterial ECMO (VA-ECMO) patients. VA-ECMO patients can, under certain criteria, safely participate in early mobilization and physical therapy (PT) interventions. Mobilization of VA-ECMO patients can be considered safe regardless of the anatomical insertion of the cannula. Mobilization and application of PT in VA-ECMO patients seems to contribute to the improvement of respiratory volume and respiratory rate as well as to the stabilization or reduction of inotropes. Specific PT and early mobilization intervention guidelines for VA-ECMO patients need to be developed.
