Clinical algorithm for the management of INTUBATED patients following thoracic injuries

SUBJECT 1: Activities and frequency of intervention

AGREEMENT: 1/4
DISAGREEMENT: 1/4
NO RESPONSE: 2/4

POSTED COMMENTS:

• Intubated patients may have contused lungs and have subsequent problems in maintaining their blood gas status. The physiotherapeutic intervention would depend totally on the clinical evaluation of the patient

SUBJECT 2: Pain management

AGREEMENT: 1/4
DISAGREEMENT: 1/4
NO RESPONSE: 2/4

POSTED COMMENTS:

• It is crucial to minimise the pain experienced by the patient during the physiotherapy intervention. Not only the viscosity of the secretions should be observed but also the colour of the secretions
