Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of early mobilization in critically ill patients with femoral catheters, and to provide reference for guiding clinical rehabilitation training. Methods The literature on the safety and feasibility of early mobilization in critically ill patients with femoral catheters included in PubMed, EMbase, OVID, Springer-link, Wiley Online Library, and Web of Science up to June 2021 was searched, and relevant data were extracted for analysis. Results Seventy-two papers were initially screened, and 12 papers that met the criteria were finally included, covering 1 056 patients, and 489 patients had femoral catheters. Patients underwent 6 495 sessions of physical therapy, and a total of 62 patients had adverse events, including 14 (2.86%, 14/489) patients with catheter-related adverse events. Conclusion Although early mobilization in critically ill patients with femoral catheters may lead to adverse catheter-related events, the incidence is low. Therefore, the associated risks and benefits should be weighed in clinical practice, and femoral catheter is not recommended as a contraindication for early mobilization in critically ill patients.
