Awesome explanation 👍

Great videos for a new band 5 physio!! Why can't I find the video she talks about at the end about going into depth with the treatment options.

This is actually an amazing videos considering I never have good luck with powerpoint based teaching!!
One question- what is the clinical reasoning for early mobilisations? other than getting their FRC up?
thank you a million

[@cardiorespiratoryphysiothe6841]

Thanks for the positive feedback - it is much appreciated! As for early mobilisation - FRC is important but you will achieve that just by getting the patient upright. By walking them, you are increasing the demand for oxygen of the working muscles. This creates a natural increase in tidal volume, which will help open up any collapsed lung tissue. Hope that helps :-)
