Purpose of RT driven protocols (AARC) Individualized care to patients Help evaluating patients for Respiratory care needs Determine Need for therapy Appropriate modality, frequency and length of Treatment Decrease length of stay Empower RTs in treatment plan Knowledge base 1. Resp. Disease and anatomic alterations of the lung 2. Pathophysiologic Mechanism 3. Clinical Manifestations 4. Treatment selection. Figure 9.3 what are the anatomic alteration of the lung that are taking place? Six common Lung alterations Atelectasis Alveolar Consolidation Increased alveolar-capillary membrane thickness Bronchospasm Excessive bronchial secretions Distal airway and alveolar weakening Common Protocols and Assessment 1. Oxygen Therapy Protocol 2. Bronchopulmonary Hygiene Therapy Protocol 3. Lung Expansion Therapy Protocol 4. Aerosolized Medication Therapy Protocol Assessment 1. Quickly/systematically collect data demonstrated by the patient 2. Formulate and assess that information, identify the cause 3. Select a treatment modality 4.
