- Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to report on the cardiorespiratory assessments, interventions, and outcomemeasures used by physical therapists with critically ill patients and the impact of COVID-19. Design: An anonymous international online survey of practice (through Google Forms) of physical therapists was conducted. Setting: The study was conducted in adult intensive care units. Participants: A total of 309 physical therapists participated in the study. Interventions: A survey was used to determine current cardiopulmonary physical therapy practices in ICU. Results: Predominantly participants were female (74%), aged 31 to 40 years (40%), havingworked in intensive care unit (ICU) for either 0 to 5 years (38%) or 11 to 20 years (28%), andworked full time (72%). Most participants worked in the United Kingdom (36%), Europe (21%), or Australia/Oceania (18%). The 3most frequently reported assessment indicators for cardiopulmonary physical therapy interventions were lobar collapse/atelectasis, audible secretions, and decreased/added lung auscultation sounds. The 3 most commonly used outcome measures included lung auscultation, arterial blood gas analysis, and transcutaneous arterial saturation. The 3 most commonly used physical therapy interventions ("very often" in a descending order) included patientmobilization, repositioning to optimize gas exchange, and endotracheal suctioning. For the COVID-19 cohort, participants reported similar use of patient repositioning to optimize gas exchange and postural drainage, and lower use of patientmobilization and endotracheal suctioning, deep breathing exercises, active cycle of breathing technique, and oropharyngeal suctioning. Conclusion: This survey reports on the characteristics of physical therapists who work in ICU, and their cardiopulmonary physical therapy assessments, interventions, and outcome measures most commonly used, inclusive of patients with COVID-19. There were some differences in interventions provided to the COVID-19 cohort compared with the non-COVID-19 cohort. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A clinical practice guideline for the physiotherapy management of adults intubated and mechanically ventilated with community-acquired pneumonia was developed through five phases of mixed methods research, comprising: systematic review and meta-analysis, national survey of Australian clinical physiotherapy clinical practice, e-Delphi study to determine international expert consensus for a minimum standard of clinical practice and clinical validation of the expert consensus statements through focus groups and semi-structured interviews with multidisciplinary senior ICU clinicians from medicine, nursing and physiotherapy. The final stage of guideline development adopted methodology from GRADE and the Joanna Briggs Institute to develop 26 recommendations for best physiotherapy clinical practice for this ICU patient cohort. The guideline is intended to support clinicians with their clinical decision making for management of this cohort. Further research is required to evaluate implementation of this guideline into clinical practice, and to incorporate the values and preferences of ICU patients and their families.

Aim. To identify, integrate, and appraise the evidence on hospitalised smokers' and staff perspectives of inpatient smoking cessation interventions and the impact on smokers' quality of life. Design. The integrative review method was used to present hospitalised smokers' and staff perspectives of inpatient smoking cessation interventions. Search Method. This integrative review consisted of a comprehensive search on smoking cessation interventions that take place during an inpatient admission to hospital for adults (> age 18 years) of the following online databases: Ovid Medline, Joanna Briggs Institute, APA PsycInfo, CINAHL, Cochrane, Google Scholar, PEDro, and Scopus. The search strategy was inclusive of peer-reviewed studies limited to the English language or translated to English. A search of grey literature and manual searching of reference lists was also conducted to identify further studies not identified in the online database search. All studies that produced any qualitative data (i.e., qualitative, mixed methods, and surveys) on inpatient-initiated smoking cessation programs were included. Outcomes of interest are included but were not limited to education, counselling, and the use of pharmacotherapy. Studies undertaken in the psychiatric, adolescent, and paediatric settings were excluded. Results. The key findings from this integrative review included positive evaluations from both patients and staff involved in inpatient smoking cessation interventions, reporting that hospitalisation was an appropriate opportunity to address smoking cessation. A number of facilitators and barriers to inpatient smoking cessation interventions included creating a supportive patient-centred environment and consideration of the cost of nicotine replacement therapy and time to deliver inpatient smoking cessation interventions. Recommendations/preferences for future inpatient smoking cessation interventions included the use of a program champion and ongoing education to demonstrate the effectiveness of the intervention, and despite the cost of nicotine replacement therapy being identified as a potential barrier, it was identified as a preference for most patients. Although quality of life was only evaluated in two studies, statistically significant improvements were identified in both. Conclusion. This qualitative integrative review provides further insight into both clinician and patient participants' perspectives on inpatient smoking cessation interventions. Overall, they are seen to produce positive benefits, and staff training appears to be an effective means for service delivery. However, insufficient time and lack of resources or expertise appear to be consistent barriers to the delivery of these services, so they should be considered when planning the implementation of an inpatient smoking cessation intervention.

Rationale and aims: Patients with community‐acquired pneumonia (CAP) are frequently admitted to an intensive care unit. Physiotherapy may be provided to optimize respiratory function; however, there is significant variability in clinical practice and limited research directing best practice for this cohort. This study aimed to determine expert consensus for best physiotherapy practice for invasively ventilated adults with CAP. Method: A modified Delphi technique involved an international expert panel completing three rounds of an online questionnaire. The initial 35‐statement questionnaire, based on a systematic literature review and survey of current clinical practice, covered physiotherapy assessment and treatment of intubated patients with CAP. Quantitative data using Likert scales determined level of agreement, with qualitative data collected through open‐ended responses. Consensus threshold was set a priori at 70%. Items not achieving consensus were modified and new items added based on themes from qualitative data. Quantitative data were analysed descriptively, with thematic analysis used on qualitative data. Results: The panel comprised 29 international clinical and academic experts in critical care physiotherapy. Response rate was more than 95% for each round. Outcome achieved was 38 consensus statements covering assessment and treatment, with 28 statements (74%) providing consensus on recommended clinical practice, two consensus disagreement statements (7%) for what practice is not recommended, and eight statements (21%) indicating which treatments may be beneficial. Conclusion: Expert consensus regarding physiotherapy for intubated adults with CAP patients provides an evidence‐based approach to guide clinical practice. The consensus statements can also be used to guide research evaluating physiotherapy interventions for patients with CAP. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Rationale, aims, and objectives Physiotherapists are integral members of the intensive care unit (ICU) team. Clinicians working in ICU are dependent on their own experience when making decisions regarding individual patient management thus resulting in variation in clinical practice. No formalized clinical practice guidelines or standards exist for the educational profile or scope of practice requirements for ICU physiotherapy. This study explored perceptions of physiotherapists on minimum clinical standards that ICU physiotherapists should adhere to for delivering safe, effective physiotherapy services to critically ill patients. Method Experienced physiotherapists offering a service to South African ICUs were purposively sampled. Three focus group sessions were held in different parts of the country to ensure national participation. Each was audio recorded. The stimulus question posed was 'What is the minimum standard of clinical practice needed by physiotherapists to ensure safe and independent practice in South African ICUs?' Three categories were explored, namely, knowledge, skill, and attributes. Themes and subthemes were developed using the codes identified. An inductive approach to data analysis was used to perform conventional content analysis. Results Twenty-five physiotherapists participated in 1 of 3 focus group sessions. Mean years of ICU experience was 10.8 years (±7.0; range, 3-33). Three themes emerged from the data namely, integrated medical knowledge, multidisciplinary teamwork, and physiotherapy practice. Integrated medical knowledge related to anatomy and physiology, conditions that patients present with in ICU, the ICU environment, pathology and pathophysiology, and pharmacology. Multidisciplinary teamwork encompassed elements related to communication, continuous professional development, cultural sensitivity, documentation, ethics, professionalism, safety in ICU, and technology. Components related to physiotherapy practice included clinical reasoning, handling skills, interventions, and patient care. Conclusions The information obtained will be used to inform the development of a list of standards to be presented to the wider national physiotherapy and ICU communities for further consensus-building activities.

Background: Upper abdominal surgery (UAS) has the potential to cause post-operative pulmonary complications (PPCs). In the absence of high-quality research regarding post-operative physiotherapy management, consensus-based best practice guidelines formulated by Hanekom et al. (2012) are available to clinicians providing recommendations for post-UAS treatment. Such best practice guidelines have recommended that physiotherapists should be using early mobilisation and respiratory intervention to minimise risk of PPCs. However, recent evidence supports the implementation of mobilisation as a standalone treatment in PPC prevention, though the diversity in literature poses questions regarding ideal current practice. This project aimed to document and report the assessment measures and interventions physiotherapists are utilising following UAS, establishing whether current management is reflective of best practice guidelines and recent evidence. Results: An online survey was completed by 57 experienced Australian physiotherapists working with patients following UAS (35% survey response rate, 63% completion rate). On day one following UAS, when a patient's condition is not medically limited, most physiotherapists routinely mobilise. Additionally, routine chest treatment continues to be implemented, with only 23% (n = 11/47) of physiotherapists mobilising patients without accompanying specific respiratory intervention. Variability of screening tools used to identify post-operative patients at high risk of PPC development was evident. Patient-dependent factors such as 'fatigue' and 'non-compliance' were among those identified as barriers to treatment, all influencing the commencement of treatment. Conclusions: Physiotherapists indicated that early mobilisation away from the bedside was the preferred post-operative treatment within the UAS patient population. Many continue to perform routine respiratory interventions despite recent literature suggesting it may provide no additional benefit to preventing PPCs. Current intervention choice is reflective of guidelines [1], however, recent literature has called this into question and more research needs to be done to establish if these recommendations are themost effective at reducing PPCs. Continued research is necessary to promote translation of knowledge to ensure physiotherapists are mobilising patients day one post-UAS. Likewise, future work should focus on identification of barriers, the strategies used to overcome limitations and the creation of a reliable and validated screening tool to ensure appropriate prioritisation and allocation of physiotherapy resources within the UAS patient population.

Objective:Achieving competency in critical care in entry-level physiotherapy courses across Australia and New Zealand is not essential, and accredited training for qualified physiotherapists working in critical care units is lacking. As a result, practice standards and training may vary. The objective was to establish consensus-based minimum clinical practice standards for physiotherapists working in critical care settings in Australia and New Zealand.Design:A modified Delphi technique, which consisted of three rounds of questionnaires, was used to obtain consensus on items.Setting:Australian and New Zealand critical care settings.Participants:A panel (n= 61) was invited from a pool of eligible physiotherapists throughout Australia and New Zealand (n= 93). Eligibility criteria were defineda-priorion the basis of possession of expertise and experience in the practice and teaching of critical care physiotherapy clinical skills.Main Outcome Measure:Questionnaires were disseminated electronically (either via email, or SurveyMonkey®). Items were designated by participants as being ‘Essential/Unsure/Not Essential’. Consensus for inclusion was achieved when items were ranked ‘Essential’ by more than 70% of participants.Results:Fifty physiotherapists consented and participated in the initial Delphi round, of whom 45 (90%) completed all rounds. Consensus was reached on 199 (89%) items. The panel agreed that 132 (58%) items were ‘Essential’ items for inclusion in the final framework.Conclusions:This is the first study to develop a consensus framework of minimum standards of practice for physiotherapists working in critical care. The clinical utility of this framework now requires assessment. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Rationale, aims and objectives Physiotherapists form an important part of the inter-professional team that cares for critically ill patients in intensive care units ( ICU). No formalized clinical practice guidelines or standards exist for the educational profile or scope of practice requirements for physiotherapy within critical care, which poses a threat to physiotherapy practice and professional credibility. Methods The aim of this paper was to describe the nominal group technique ( NGT) used to identify the minimum standards of clinical practice needed by physiotherapists to ensure safe and independent practice in South African ICUs. Results Twenty-five subjects participated in one of three forums. Sixty-six concepts were considered in the three domains ( knowledge, skills and attitudes). Not all concepts were discussed by all three focus groups. Just over half (54% n = 14) the concepts generated in the knowledge domain; a third of the concepts (35% n = 7) generated in the skills domain and only 10% ( n = 2) of attitudes were consistently raised by all three groups. Almost two-thirds of the concepts generated (62% n = 41) were considered in more than one domain. Only six concepts reached the threshold consensus level across all three focus groups, four knowledge parameters and two skills. Conclusion The NGT allowed for the cross-stimulation of ideas in an engaging yet anonymous and structured manner. The importance of discussion in reaching consensus is highlighted. Going forward, it is intended to use the concepts generated through this process as the foundation for further consensus-building activities among the wider physiotherapy and intensive care communities.

Purpose: This study aimed to report mortality, morbidity, and the relationship between these outcomes with physical function in patients who survived prolonged mechanical ventilation during an intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Methods and Materials: Records were reviewed for Western Australian residents admitted to an ICU in 2007 or 2008 who were ventilated for 7 days or longer and survived their acute care stay. Records were linked with data maintained by the Department of Health. Results: A total of 181 patients (aged 52 ± 19 years) were included in this study. In the 12 months after discharge, 159 (88%) survived and 148 (82%) had been hospitalized. Compared with those who were ambulating independently when discharged from acute care, those who were not had more admissions (incident rate ratio, 1.81; 95% confidence interval, 1.28-2.57) and a greater cumulative length of hospital stay (10 [37] vs 57 [115] days, P b .001) over the first 12 months after discharge. Time between admission to ICU and when the patient first stood correlated with the number of admissions (Rs = 0.320, P b .001) and cumulative length of stay (Rs = 0.426, P b .001) in the 12 months after discharge. Conclusions: For survivors of prolonged mechanical ventilation, physical function during acute care was associated with hospitalization over the following 12 months. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background Pulmonary dysfunction (PDF) in intubated patients remains a serious and costly complication of intensive care unit care. Optimal cardiopulmonary therapy strategies to prevent and manage PDF need clarification to reduce practice variability. The purpose of this paper is to report on the content validation of an evidence-based clinical management algorithm (EBCMA) aimed at the prevention, identification and management of PDF in critically ill patients. Methods Forty-four draft algorithm statements extracted from the extant literature by the primary research team were verified and rated by research clinicians ( n = 7) in an electronic three-round Delphi process. Statements which reached a priori defined consensus [semi-interquartile range (SIQR) <0.5] were collated into the EBCMA. Results One hundred per cent response rate. Forty-four statements were added after round one. Consensus was reached on rating of 83% (73/88) statements. Differences in interpretation of the existing evidence base, and variations in accepted clinical practice were identified. Four themes were identified where panel failed to reach consensus. Conclusion The internationally agreed hierarchical framework of current available evidence and clinical expertise developed through this Delphi process provides clinicians with a tool to inform clinical practice. This tool has the potential to reduce practice variability thereby maximizing safety and treatment outcome. The clinical utility of the EBCMA requires further evaluation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To investigate the effect of respiratory physiotherapy on the prevention and treatment of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) for adults in an intensive care unit (ICU) with an acquired brain injury (ABI). Two-part, prospective, randomised controlled trial. A total of 144 subjects with ABI admitted with a Glasgow Coma Scale ≤9, requiring intracranial pressure monitoring, and invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) for >24 h; 33 subjects were subsequently diagnosed with VAP. Respiratory physiotherapy comprised six treatments (positioning, manual hyperinflation and suctioning) in each 24-h period whilst on MV. The Control Group received standard medical/nursing care but no respiratory physiotherapy. There were no significant differences between groups for incidence of VAP, duration of MV, length of ICU stay or clinical variables such as requirement for re-ventilation. In adults with ABI, regular respiratory physiotherapy in addition to routine medical/nursing care does not appear to prevent VAP, reduce length of MV or ICU stay. Due to small numbers, it is not possible to draw any conclusions as to whether or not respiratory physiotherapy hastens recovery from VAP. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses findings of an observational study, which determined the safety of physiotherapy intervention in intensive care. Several adverse physiological changes associated with physiotherapy intervention include significant alterations in hemodynamic, respiratory or intracranial parameters necessitating remedial intervention. Respiratory deterioration during manual hyperinflation may be caused by a disconnection from positive end expiratory pressure and subsequent derecruitment.

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose: The present study aimed to evaluate the consis-tency with which physiotherapists apply manual hyperinflation to a test lung using the Air-Viva- 2 or Mapleson-B resuscitation circuit, and their ability to modify the technique as pulmonary characteristics change. Method: A quasi-experimental, randomized, repeated-measures design was used to study 16 volunteer physiotherapists performing manual hyperinflation to a test lung simulating three clinical situations. Each subject applied manual hyperinflation to the test lung for each simulation three times in one day using the resuscitation circuit that they would normally use in their clinical practice. Eight subjects used the Air-Viva-2 circuit and eight used the Mapleson-B circuit. Measurements of tidal volume (V T ), peak airway pressure (P&subaw; ) and fraction of delivered oxygen (FDO&sub2; ) were recorded during each testing period. Inflation rate and minute volume were calculated. Results: As compliance decreased and airway resistance increased, V T decreased and P aw increased. Of the eight subjects using the Air-Viva-2 circuit, only three subjects delivered greater than 0.80 FDO&sub2; . All subjects using the Mapleson-B circuit delivered greater than 0.85 FDO&sub2; . Conclusions: Subjects demonstrated good consistency in the application of manual hyperinflation for all three simulations and modified their technique appropriately as simulated pulmonary characteristics changed.

Objectives: To determine if the early goal-directed mobilization intervention could be delivered to patients receiving mechanical ventilation with increased maximal levels of activity compared with standard care.Design: A pilot randomized controlled trial.Setting: Five ICUs in Australia and New Zealand.Participants: Fifty critically ill adults mechanically ventilated for greater than 24 hours.Intervention: Patients were randomly assigned to either early goal-directed mobilization (intervention) or to standard care (control). Early goal-directed mobilization comprised functional rehabilitation treatment conducted at the highest level of activity possible for that patient assessed by the ICU mobility scale while receiving mechanical ventilation.Measurements and Main Results: The ICU mobility scale, strength, ventilation duration, ICU and hospital length of stay, and total inpatient (acute and rehabilitation) stay as well as 6-month post-ICU discharge health-related quality of life, activities of daily living, and anxiety and depression were recorded. The mean age was 61 years and 60% were men. The highest level of activity (ICU mobility scale) recorded during the ICU stay between the intervention and control groups was mean (95% CI) 7.3 (6.3-8.3) versus 5.9 (4.9-6.9), p = 0.05. The proportion of patients who walked in ICU was almost doubled with early goal-directed mobilization (intervention n = 19 [66%] vs control n = 8 [38%]; p = 0.05). There was no difference in total inpatient stay (d) between the intervention versus control groups (20 [15-35] vs 34 [18-43]; p = 0.37). There were no adverse events.Conclusions: Key Practice Points: Delivery of early goal-directed mobilization within a randomized controlled trial was feasible, safe and resulted in increased duration and level of active exercises.
