The Department of Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy is dedicated to delivering exceptional patient care, utilizing advanced technology and evidence-based practices to ensure optimal outcomes in both operative and non-operative cases. The department is well equipped with state-of-the-art instruments, enabling precise assessments, interventions, and rehabilitation for patients with cardiovascular and respiratory conditions.

Skills

Manual therapy techniques in cardiorespiratory physiotherapy include airway clearance, breathing exercises, and thoracic mobilization to improve lung function. Exercise prescription, including aerobic and strength training programs, is tailored to enhance cardiovascular and respiratory endurance.

Evidence-based cardiac rehabilitation protocols are followed after cardiac events like CABG to restore heart function. Mechanical ventilation management involves working with multidisciplinary teams, adjusting ventilator settings, and applying non-invasive ventilation (NIV) methods such as CPAP and BiPAP.

Patient education focuses on breathing techniques, energy conservation, smoking cessation, and self-management of symptoms. Early post-surgical mobilization and pain management techniques, like TENS, are emphasized. Collaboration with medical teams ensures holistic care in ICU and post-surgical settings.
