Physiotherapists play such an essential role in the care of the patient within the Intensive Care Unit.
On today's episode, I speak with Samantha Hagan. Sam was one of the first physio's I worked with as I started as a new grad nurse within ICU. Over those first few months I learnt an incredible amount from Sam. From the specific recruitment manoeuvres; to detailed chest auscultation; Chest X-Ray interpretation; and overall, the role of the physio within ICU.
Sam does a great job in outlining the role of the physiotherapist within ICU; details the rationale of specific manoeuvres including Manual Hyperinflation, and Vibes; details the equipment used; and outlines strategies for how Nurses and Physio's can best work together.
