Respiratory Physiotherapy - Placement & Rotation Ready: A Practical Guide for Physiotherapy Students and Newly Qualified Physiotherapists

By Mamdouh Sarhan

Starting a respiratory physiotherapy placement or rotation? This book is designed to help you arrive prepared.

Respiratory Physiotherapy: Placement & Rotation Ready is a practical clinical guide for physiotherapy students, newly qualified physiotherapists and early-career clinicians who want to build confidence in respiratory practice.

Rather than overwhelming you with textbook-level detail, the book focuses on the knowledge, clinical reasoning and practical skills you are likely to need on placement and during your first respiratory rotations.

Inside you'll learn how to:

- Approach respiratory assessment systematically
- Interpret observations, investigations, ABGs and chest findings
- Develop a physiotherapy problem list and treatment plan
- Understand airway-clearance techniques and breathing strategies
- Use mobilisation as part of respiratory physiotherapy
- Understand oxygen therapy, NIV and respiratory support
- Approach COPD, pneumonia, asthma, bronchiectasis and other common presentations
- Recognise deterioration and know when to stop and escalate
- Prioritise a respiratory caseload and communicate effectively with the MDT
- Prepare for educator questions, VIVAs and common placement scenarios

The book includes clinical algorithms, explanatory medical illustrations, quick-reference tools, realistic cases and placement-focused clinical pearls designed to help bridge the gap between university knowledge and real clinical practice.

Learn the essentials. Build your clinical reasoning. Start your respiratory placement or rotation with confidence.
