### How should the diagnosis of bronchiectasis be determined? #### Recommendations – Imaging Good practice points CT imaging protocol features General In whom suspected?
RECOMMENDATIONS IntroductionPhysiotherapy should be offered to patients with a variety of medical respiratory conditions, the aim breathlessness management and symptom control, mobility function improvement or maintenance, airway clearance cough enhancement support.Strategies techniques include: rehabilitation, exercise testing (including for ambulatory oxygen assessment), prescription, clearance, positioning breathing techniques.Physiotherapy may helpful postural and/or musculoskeletal...

The unprecedented increase in critically ill patients due to the COVID-19 pandemic mandated rapid training critical care for redeployed staff work safely intensive units (ICU).The ICU Remote-Learning Course (CIRLC) is a remote delivery course developed response pandemic. This was one-day focused on fundamentals of Intensive Care. used blended learning with recorded lectures and interactive tutorials delivered by shielding frontline trained professionals. within one week piloted at three NHS...
Physiotherapists working on-call to provide emergency respiratory services report stress and lack of confidence in scenarios. Simulation-based education (SBE) is a potential solution improve reduce physiotherapists. In physiotherapy, use SBE sporadic. The aim this study was evaluate the addition an training programme on non-respiratory physiotherapists' self-evaluated confidence. Additionally, aimed if facilitates identification learning needs.This cohort took mixed methods approach....

<h3>Introduction and Objectives</h3> Current National Institute of Clinical Health Excellence (NICE) COPD guidelines (2010) recommend that pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is made available to all appropriate people with COPD. However, house-bound patients severe very (MRC 4/5) are not always able access PR. This creates an inequality in health care. pilot study investigated the effectiveness home provision neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) low-intensity symptom-limited exercise...
Optimising outcomes for critically ill patients with COVID-19 requires early interdisciplinary rehabilitation. As admission numbers soared through the pandemic, redeployed workforce needed rapid, effective training to deliver these rehabilitation interventions.The ICU Remote-Learning Rehab Course (CIRLC-rehab) is a one-day course developed after success of CIRLC-acute. The aim CIRLC-rehab was rapidly train healthcare professionals physical, nutritional and psychological strategies in...
<h3>Background</h3> Dysfunctional breathing (DB) is an umbrella term used to describe abnormal pattern which can be psychologically or physiologically based. DB has been shown exacerbated at times of increased stress and related anxiety disorders; both factors are common within a university setting, particularly around exam time. Personality types, specifically type A personality, share risk with DB, suggesting possible association. The prevalence population not previously investigated....
<b>Background:</b> PR is a highly effective treatment for many lung diseases that underutilised in the UK; only 15% of eligible chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients have undergone programme (Steiner <i>et al</i>. 2016). <b>Aim:</b> to explore HCPs' attitudes towards referring PR. <b>Method:</b> this cross sectional exploratory study used previously piloted web based questionnaire. Purposive sampling HCPs within referral area London service was undertaken; 238 were invited...
