This document outlines best practice recommendations for acute care physiotherapy for patients with COVID-19, with an emphasis on critical care rehabilitation, including patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. These recommendations were developed for practice in Qatar but are adaptable to any setting. This recommendation is the result of a combination of systematic evidence searches, subsequent critical evaluation of the retrieved evidence and a consensus process. The agreed recommendations were integrated into a physiotherapeutic clinical reasoning algorithm. It includes recommendations on physiotherapy referrals, screening, management categories and best practice recommendations. It is intended for use by physiotherapists and other relevant stakeholders, in acute care settings, for adult patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19.

Robust Evidence

Delivery of sedation in anticipation of weaning of adult patients from prolonged mechanical ventilation is an arena of critical care medicine where opinion-based practice is currently hard to avoid because robust evidence is lacking. We offer some views on this subject, hoping to stimulate debate among colleagues.

Realistic View

Medication errors and error-related scenarios in anesthesia remain an important area of research. Interventions and best practice recommendations in anesthesia are often based in the work-as-imagined healthcare system, remaining under-used due to a range of unforeseen complexities in healthcare work-as- done. In order to design adaptable anesthesia medication delivery systems, a better understanding of clinical cognition within the context of anesthesia work is needed. Fourteen interviews probing anesthesia providers’ decision making were performed. The results revealed three overarching themes: (1) anesthesia providers find cases challenging when they have incomplete information, (2) decision-making begins with information seeking, and (3) attributes such as expertise, experience, and work environment influence anesthesia providers’ information seeking and synthesis of tasks. These themes and the context within this data help create a more realistic view of work-as-done and generate insights into what potential medication error reducing interventions should look to avoid and what they could help facilitate.
