The purpose of this study was to describe current practice of cardiopulmonary physical therapy for pediatric patients. An investigator-designed questionnaire was published in the Spring 1990 issue ofPediatric Physical Therapy. Seventy-six respondents returned questionnaires. Sixty-two (89%) of the respondents indicated that they treat pediatric patients with cardiopulmonary dysfunction. Assessments of breathing pattern, respiratory rate, and cough function were utilized by the majority (63%-89%) of them in their physical therapy evaluations. Eight-five percent indicated that they used positioning as a cardiopulmonary treatment technique. The other treatment techniques in use by a majority of the therapists (71–76%) included breathing exercises, postural drainage, percussion, and vibration. Seventy-seven percent of all the respondents indicated that they need more training in evaluation and treatment of cardiopulmonary dysfunction. Overall, the questionnaire results conveyed that pediatric physical therapists should be acutely aware of the signs and symptoms of cardiopulmonary distress in children and be able to intervene as necessary.
