Lung Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) strongly influences physiotherapy and respiratory therapy clinical decision-making in the intensive care unit (ICU). The uptake of Lung POCUS training by physiotherapists and respiratory therapists is low in some countries, often due to many barriers to its implementation. The safe and appropriate integration of Lung POCUS into physiotherapy and respiratory therapy clinical practice may be achieved by various means. This article describes the pathway for physiotherapists to become Lung POCUS-accredited in Australia, focusing on a novel fast-track approach that may apply internationally and in other professions, such as respiratory therapy. While a fast-track approach is resource intensive, such resource allocation may be justified to support the growth of Lung POCUS in physiotherapy and respiratory therapy practice where mentor support may be inconsistent, lacking, or absent. |
