PHYSIOTHERAPISTS use STETHOSCOPE ?

I find that many people do not know that Physiotherapists (PT’s) work in hospitals, when in fact there is a Physiotherapist assigned to almost every floor/ unit throughout a hospital. Physio in a hospital looks very different from what you may have experienced or imagined when you go to a clinic, or what’s called outpatient/ private practice settings.
No I’m not “massaging” anyone
No I’m not teaching people how to run
No I’m not applying electric machines to patients
As a physiotherapist working in the ICU (intensive care unit): .
I am mobilizing patients who can’t themselves
I am treating patients chests/ lungs who are drowning in secretions with manual techniques
I am suctioning patients with tracheostomy’s and on ventilators
I am moving people who have 3-10 different lines connected to them for their medical stability
I am working with nurses, OTs, RT’s, Social workers, and Drs to provide appropriate treatment
I am listening to patients lungs ( with my stethoscope) to assess their airways
I am administering oxygen when needed
I am manually moving patients joints to prevent contractures
I am getting people on ventilators sitting, standing, and mobile
I am improving patients quality of life
I am helping people get better. .
These are only some of the responsibilities of a cardiorespiratory physiotherapist working in acute care settings, and what I do is different from what other physiotherapists in hospitals are doing!

🎯 Bells palsy 🎯

🔺️ What is Bell's Palsy?

♠️ Bell's palsy, also known as idiopathic facial palsy, is a form of temporary facial paralysis or weakness on one side of the face.
♠️ It results from dysfunction of cranial nerve VII (facial nerve) which directs the muscles on one side of the face, including those that control eye blinking and closing and facial expressions such as smiling.
♠️The facial nerve also carries nerve impulses to the tear glands, the salivary glands, and the muscles of a small bone in the middle ear.
♠️ The facial nerve also transmits taste sensations from the tongue.

🔺️ How is it treated?

♠️ For individuals with new-onset Bell’s palsy, steroids are highly likely to be effective and can increase the probability of recovery of facial nerve function.
♠️ In most instances, oral steroids should be started within 72 hours of symptom onset if possible, to increase the probability of good facial functional recovery
