This course provides an evidence-based approach to the assessment and management of respiratory patients and those undergoing surgery.  Assessment skills will be linked to include interpretation of blood gases, x-rays and auscultation. These will be integrated to allow an understanding of the medical management of the respiratory patient and enable full co-ordination of physiotherapy with oxygen therapy and medication.

 A variety of physiotherapy techniques for the surgical patient and those with atelectasis or at risk of atelectasis will then be critically reviewed. The indications for physiotherapy intervention will be identified in patients who have sputum retention or excess secretions, and critically evaluate these techniques.

 This will all be accompanied by a current reference list and problem solving skills facilitated through the use of case studies and practical sessions.

Who is this course aimed at ?

The course is ideal for junior and senior II staff and those requiring a revision in respiratory care. It is also appropriate for 3rd year students.
