Knowledge, attitudes, and practice about protective ventilation among physical therapists
In this countrywide study, physical therapists had good knowledge, attitudes, and practice regarding protective ventilation, and lack of education was an important factor associated with KAP. Discussing airway pressures during ICU rounds and developing specific training may improve awareness and practice of protective ventilation and impact patient outcomes.
