Assistência fisioterapêutica supervisionada a pacientes internados em unidade de terapia intensiva adulto no Hospital Universitário Onofre Lopes: relato de experiência

Abstract

Introduction: The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is characterized as a critical environment focused on the complex care of critically ill hospitalized patients. Linked to this, it is possible to highlight a still infrequent reality of educational practices aimed at inserting undergraduates in the intensive care environment. During professional training, the student must be ensured contact at all levels of health care, enabling solid and generalist growth. Methods: This is an experience report of participation in a physiotherapeutic care project for patients hospitalized in an ICU environment, which was developed from March to December 2022, based on the experience of a physiotherapy graduate in supervised physiotherapeutic care for hospitalized patients. Final considerations: In the student's perception, the project was extremely important for learning, as it allowed them to develop and improve their critical, reflective and creative thinking in physiotherapeutic care in a field of activity that is extremely important for their profession, but which is still little explored in the course.
