Certain practice habits continue to be used despite the availability of research and other forms of evidence that should be implemented to guide practice interventions. CPT is often prescribed for children with pneumonia, asthma, bronchiolitis, and atelectasis following surgery or mechanical ventilation.
Initial Discussin Post::
What is the expected outcome when implementing CPT?
What are the risks of performing CPT? Do the risks outweigh the benefits?
Is the practice of CPT supported by evidence? Are there safe, alternative interventions that the RN can implement to achieve the same outcome as performing CPT? If so, identify at least one.
