● assessment of patients in the critical care area through:
○ reading the clinical examinations in the patient's chart and evaluating them from a rehabilitation perspective. In particular study from a rehabilitation perspective of respiratory function tests and blood gas tests and hints on capnometry for rehabilitation purposes
○ assessment of changes in thoracoabdominal wall biomechanics caused by pathology or invasive therapies
○ reading radiodiagnostic examinations from a rehabilitation perspective
○ using tools for evaluation and monitoring of physiotherapy in the critical care area (pulse oximeter, phonendoscope, reading and monitoring of ventilatory profile,...)
● Setting up the treatment plan and choosing effective physiotherapy maneuvers for improving thoracic-pulmonary compliance, bronchial unblocking, and neuro-motor recovery taking into consideration the principle of individuality
● Methods of monitoring during respiratory physiotherapy and data collection
● Use of oxygen therapy. Methods of administration, evaluation of effectiveness and its weaning through respiratory physiotherapy
● Use of mechanical ventilation. Knowledge of the various types of ventilators, understanding of setting parameters and possible changes as progress in respiratory physiotherapy occurs. Itinerary for weaning from Mechanical Ventilation.
