Routine physiotherapy

I am on my placement at ICU at the moment. Just a quick comment about one of the difficult aspects of the treatment i found. It appeared that with the majority of patients, the treatment was exactly the same. If the patients are sedated and ventilated, all our treatment consisted of MHI and suction. This made it very easy to fall into a routine of just completing the treatment because "thats what we always do". I found myself half way through the prac having to try hard to break that cycle and attempt different strategies depending on the different patients. Even with these attempts, the onyl real treatment options remained the same but it broke the cycle of this "routine physio" that i dont want to become. was a bit of an eye opener none-the-less.
