TL;DR: Cardiorespiratory physical therapy interventions included postural drainage, coughing, huffing, percussion, vibration, positioning, turning and hyperinflation in patients with acute conditions.
Abstract: Cardiorespiratory physical therapy interventions included postural drainage, coughing, huffing, percussion, vibration, positioning, turning and hyperinflation. Studies evaluated physical therapy in a range of acute conditions (atelectasis, pneumonia, pneumothorax, pleural effusion, deep vein thrombosis, acute myocardial infarction and mechanically ventilated patients). Measured outcomes included pulmonary and cardiorespiratory measures, mortality and length of hospital stay.
