Physiotherapy and Cardiothoracic Care in Acute and Chronic Care
This special issue belongs to the section "Critical Care".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Physiotherapy for patients with cardiothoracic pathologies is a complex specialty with many specific interventions. Each of the physiotherapy interventions according to its indication plays an important role in the management of the disease, the improvement of the quality of life and the outcomes of patients (e.g., promotion of physical activity in chronic respiratory pathologies, prevention of muscle weakness in resuscitation, adaptation and technological development of non-invasive ventilation). The objective of this Special Issue is to publish research aimed at improving technological, physiological, or clinical knowledge in the care of patients suffering from acute or chronic cardiothoracic pathologies.
