متن کاملPeri-operative physiotherapy
Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) are a major cause of morbidity, mortality, prolonged hospital stay, and increased cost of care. Physiotherapy (PT) programs in post-surgical and critical area patients are aimed to reduce the risks of PPC due to long-term bed-rest, to improve the patient's quality of life and residual function, and to avoid new hospitalizations. At this purpose, PT pr...
