SHARE Session – Physiotherapy

Session Title	Physiotherapy for the Critically Ill: Beyond Early Mobilisation
Date	16 August 2025
Time	1130 – 1300hrs
Venue	Singapore EXPO
Format	1-hour didactic lecture and 25min networking dialogue session
Introduction	The journey of critically ill patients does not end with ICU discharge; rather, it marks the beginning of a complex recovery process requiring specialised care and coordinated interventions. This session brings together experts in critical care physiotherapy to explore key strategies for optimising patient outcomes across the continuum of care. The three-part series will cover: Physiotherapy Assessment and Interventions for Successful Weaning – An overview into key assessments such as Negative Inspiratory Force (NIF), lung ultrasound, along with evidence-based interventions including early mobilisation and inspiratory muscle training to facilitate ventilator weaning. Transition from ICU to Home: Needs Analysis and Interventions – Addressing the critical gaps in care as patient moves from critical care settings to home, this talk will explore practical strategies for ensuring a smooth and supported transition. Post-ICU Programmes – Where are we now? – Outline the background to post-ICU programmes and describe the key components of post-ICU programmes – such as the why, what, and how, including who should staff these programmes, when, and where they should occur. The session will conclude with a 25-minute dialogue session, providing a platform for networking, idea exchange, and potential collaboration among clinicians and researchers committed to advancing post-ICU care. Join us for this insightful discussion on reshaping the rehabilitation pathway and optimising long-term outcomes for ICU survivors.
