Description of intervention(s) / exposure
All vasopressor-dependent patients who experienced mobilisation with physiotherapists in the ICU at Canberra hospital will be described in this retrospective study. The time frame studied will be October 1 - December 31 2016. Mobilisation includes all activities which facilitate out-of-bed movement, including sitting on the edge of the bed, sitting in a chair, standing, marching on the spot and standing with the assistance of equipment (eg tilt table or gait harness).

Statistical methods / analysis
Descriptive analyses will be used to best describe the sample in terms of demographics, level of vasopressor support and mobilisation / functional level achieved at time of intervention and at ICU discharge, as well as incidence of adverse events.
Correlational analyses will be used to describe any associations between level of vasopressor support and level of mobilisation achieved, and between level of mobilisation achieved and overall functional level at ICU discharge.
