Abstract
Physiotherapy services provided in intensive care units (ICUs) when the decisions of non-specialised therapists are guided by an evidence-based protocol are safe, differ from usual care, and reflect international consensus on current best evidence for physiotherapy in ICUs. Non-specialised therapists can use this protocol to provide evidence-based physiotherapy services to their patients. Future trials are needed to establish whether or not this will improve patient outcome.
