Physiotherapy has been a long-standing component of critical care medicine in the developed world.
Traditionally, physiotherapy in the intensive care unit (ICU) was limited to respiratory management, which varied between practitioners and hospitals, with minimal supporting evidence to guide practice. Substantial research supports the positive impact of critical care physiotherapy on patient outcomes. The most dramatic shift has occurred as a result of a change in focus from respiratory interventions to early progressive mobilisation, in order to improve both short- and long-term patient outcomes.
Early rehabilitation in intensive care has been demonstrated to:
The role of the physiotherapist in critical care teams continues to evolve as research progresses and is translated into practice. However, limitations in the ability of physiotherapists to prescribe and implement interventions in the critical care population due to cultural, procedural, and/or safety concerns must be acknowledged.
This module provides nurses with an understanding of the role of physiotherapy in supporting optimal outcomes for critical care patients and the role of physiotherapists as members of the multidisciplinary care team.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
