Abstract

While numerous studies suggest that the mortality rate for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has decreased over time, the number of survivors with persistent functional disability is increasing. The aim of physiotherapy for patients with ARDS is to prevent physical impairments, especially muscle dysfunction due to immobilization, and improve exercise capacity, activities of daily living, and health-related quality of life. In this chapter, we describe the clinical issues related physical impairments in patients with ARDS, and practice and scientific evidence of physiotherapy and early rehabilitation. Physiotherapy, including early active exercise and mobilization, is safe and feasible, with some evidence of improved patient outcomes. Further research is needed to establish stronger evidence for the effectiveness of physiotherapy for patients with ARDS.
