title: Haemodynamic stability of the ventilated intensive care patient: A review.
abstract: One of the major reasons for admission to an intensive care unit is haemodynamic instability. It is important for physiotherapists to recognize and predict haemodynamic instability when planning intervention in these patients. This paper reviews the existing literature on haemodynamic effects of physiotherapy in ventilated intensive care patients. Recommendations are made for further research, including multi-centre documentation, attainment of normal data and single case studies in this area.
