About this trial
Bedrest is usually prescribed for patients management after cardiac electronic device implantation (CIED) in order to prevent complication. Due to the lack of guidelines available on the timing of postoperative mobilization management, the aim of the study is to evaluate the safety of early mobilization, comparing mobilization at 4-h against day-after procedure.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Composite endpoint: pacing lead dislodgement, pocket hematoma, pneumothorax, and pericardial effusion
Incidence of post-operatory complications (composite endpoint). Non inferiority margin 5%
Secondary outcomes
Post-operative pain
Pain will be assessed with the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scale ranging from 0 to 10 (0 corresponds to no pain and 10 to maximal level of pain).
Sleep disturbance
Quality of sleep will be assessed using the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ), which ranges from 0 to 500 points, where 0 indicates the worst possible sleep quality and 500 the best possible. The sub-scores include sleep depth, sleep latency, number of awakenings, return to sleep after awakening, and overall sleep quality (each ranging from 0 to 100 points).
Number of participants with postoperative urinary retention
Number of participants requiring an intervention such as a Foley catheter or catheterization
Number of participants developing postoperative delirium
Number of participants who develop postoperative delirium, as assessed by the 3-Minute Diagnostic Interview for Confusion Assessment Method (3D-CAM)
Other outcomes
Incidence of pacing lead dislodgement, pocket hematoma, pneumothorax, pericardial effusion, and pocket infection
Number of patients suffering with post-operatory complications
