Managing Aspergillus Fungal Pneumonia: A PT perspective

In today’s episode, we break down the priorities of seeing a patient with Aspergillus pneumonia (PNA). When coughing and shortness of breath are the primary limitations, what should be your primary focus during your session? As much as mobility is a huge priority in the acute care setting, it is not the only thing to consider in this patient population. As physical therapists, we should be empowered to use our whole scope of practice to prioritize assessment techniques and interventions that cater to your patient’s primary concerns; in this case, breathing, mucus, and fatigue. Join me as we tackle this case and discuss the real priorities of a chest assessment and subsequent interventions to make greater impact.
