Patient care in critical condition within the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) represents a challenge for multidisciplinary teams due to the high complexity of the illness, a high technician environment, and the patient’s clinical instability. Clinical simulation provides a controlled and safe environment for the physiotherapist to develop the necessary competencies to perform early mobilization protocols safely. Implementing clinical simulation, specifically for developing competencies in safely carrying out early mobilization protocols, becomes a priority in the teaching-learning process for physiotherapists in critical or intensive care areas. Different simulation strategies or activities exist, such as deliberate practice or the enactment of clinical scenarios. Clinical simulation aims to provide students with a context where clinical decision-making and procedural skills can be practiced without risk to actual patients.

Palabras llave : clinical simulation; physiotherapy; early mobilization; intensive care unit; patient critical.
