What do Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapists do?
Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapists (PTs) help patients with heart and lung conditions or recovering from critical illness improve their cardiopulmonary function, strength, and endurance through exercise and education.
They work with conditions such as heart failure, COPD, and asthma, and after surgery, creating tailored programs that may include endurance and strength training, as well as breathing and coughing techniques to enhance quality of life and physical activity.
Goals of their treatment Include Increasing cardiovascular and respiratory function, improving physical endurance and strength, enhancing mobility and flexibility, reducing the risk of complications and falls, and improving overall quality of life.
Assess and Treat: Evaluate a patient’s cardiovascular and respiratory systems and identify limitations in breathing, strength, and endurance.
Develop Exercise Programs: Design individualized exercise plans that incorporate aerobic activities, such as walking or cycling, to improve heart and lung function.
Teach Breathing Techniques: Instruct patients on methods such as pursed-lip breathing to manage shortness of breath and effective coughing techniques to clear the lungs.
Provide Strength and Flexibility Training: Incorporate strength training and stretching exercises to build strength, improve flexibility, and prevent injuries.
Educate Patients: Teach patients how to manage their conditions, modify lifestyle choices (like quitting tobacco use), and understand their disease.
Monitor and Adjust: Closely monitor vital signs, symptoms, and exercise responses to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment plan.
