Course Description:

Therapists working with patients in ICU face complex challenges. An important clinical scenario found in patients during an ICU stay is the limitation and deterioration of functional status. For selected patients in ICU, early mobility and physical activity can lead to an increase in functional capacity and improve quality of life. It is also possible to have an associated decreased length of hospital stay and subsequent reduction in hospital costs. The content of this webinar will guide clinicians through the process of understanding and managing adult ICU patients, from patient selection and therapeutic interventions to choice of outcome measures. This webinar is also designed to inspire clinicians to reflect on and understand the clinical principles that promote best practices in the ICU and positively influence the recovery of patients.

Course Objectives:

  • Select patients for early mobility and rehab in ICU using clinical decision-making skills.

  • Identify ventilator settings on the ventilator screen and summarize common modes of mechanical ventilation.

  • Identify and state function of vascular catheters, tubes, and  equipment commonly used in the ICU.

  • Describe two types of muscle weakness associated with critical illness.

  • Discuss clinical implications of laboratory values and medications in ICU.

  • Recognize the importance of functional outcomes for patients in ICU.

  • Examine therapeutic interventions as treatment options for patients in ICU.

  • Identify the role of multidisciplinary team members in ICU.

  • Synthesize information for use in clinical and academic practice
