This unit of study builds on and expands the knowledge, skills and attributes developed in Physiotherapy in Respiratory and Cardiac Conditions (PHTY2062). Three modules are included: cardiopulmonary physiotherapy in the acute care environment, physiotherapy in acute neurological/neurosurgical care, and cardiopulmonary advanced clinical reasoning. The acute care module focuses on assessment and treatment of patients with acute pulmonary dysfunction. In addition, students examine specific clinical and professional issues relating to the intensive care and acute care environment. The emphasis is on appropriate assessment, safe and effective management of intubated and nonincubated patients. The acute neurological module focuses on physiotherapy management of acute neurological and neurosurgical conditions. The advanced clinical reasoning module will enable students to develop their skills in analysing and planning evidence based interventions for patients with multisystem and/or complex problems. Students will integrate material from core areas of musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary, neurological and paediatric physiotherapy as well as background sciences. Overall, this unit examines the scientific basis for clinical intervention and examines a range of complex clinical issues organised on a case basis including multi system dysfunction (physiological, psychological and social). Students will be expected to evaluate the scientific basis and ethical, legal and practical implications of current physiotherapy interventions in relation to the case studies.
