Interesting talk on frailty and COPD at #copd11 . 20% of COPD patients are classed as frail. 60% of COPD patients can reverse their frailty status through pulmonary rehab. #PulmonaryRehabWeekUK ACPRC

Inspiratory muscle training for COPD: end of the road? Well designed, delivered and reported clinical trial that has shown no difference in terms of important primary outcome of exercise capacity ThoraxBMJ Naftali Kaminski Gisli Jenkins Alan Smyth Rik Gosselink thorax.bmj.com/content/early/…

So excited - here is our step-by-step guide to inspiratory muscle training in ICU patients. 10 years in the making! Free full text - our top tips for implementing evidence-based IMT as part of a MDT. Canberra ICU University of Canberra australiancriticalcare.com/article/S1036-…

ICU-acquired weakness occurs in 33% of all patients on ventilators, 50% of all patients admitted with severe infection, and up to 50% of patients who stay in the ICU for at least one week. Learn more about #PICSyndrome and #THRIVEICU: bit.ly/2us9LgC

Are restrictive precautions necessary to protect the sternum after #heartsurgery? Not in the 72 #cardiacsurgery patients in this free open-access randomised trial. bit.ly/2P2c6aP Journal of Physiotherapy: free for authors, free for readers

#physio #ICU we should think about all the times we hyper oxygenate to undertake airway suctioning .... should we still be doing this????

Surprising findings …preop IMT not effective at reducing pneumonia post oesophageal Ca surgery even though improved insp. strength and endurance ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29603130 Congrats to authors Maybe we need more wholistic prehab?

Review: Very useful evidenced consideration for the role of inflammation in muscle repair + regeneration. Inflamm is not a mistake - it is essential. My own key message of the last 25 years!: Yang + Hu (2018) J Orthop Trans 13:25 bit.ly/2Gt7Noa

Don't say "I'm here to walk the patient". Instead "I'm here to assess mobility, tolerance to activity, movement and function". Don't dumb down what we do and perpetuate the stereotype. #solvePT #icurehab #acutePT #UICAHS

Randomised crossover trial of PROM, passive cycling, electrical stimulation and FES cycling in sedated and ventilated patients. FES cycling was the only that increased cardiac output and produced sufficient intensity of muscle work. #ICUrehab ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29703223
