Patients hospitalised with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) are frequently admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) for invasive mechanical ventilation and receive treatment by physiotherapists. However, clinical physiotherapy practice is variable for this ICU cohort. To develop a clinical practice guideline for physiotherapy management of adults invasively ventilated with CAP using the best available evidence. Guideline development using evidence synthesis according to the GRADE and JBI approaches, incorporating findings from four preceding phases of a mixed-methods research program: systematic review and meta-analysis, national survey of Australian ICU physiotherapy practice, e-Delphi study to determine expert consensus, and multidisciplinary peer-review of the expert consensus statements by senior ICU clinicians to determine validity and applicability of the statements for translation into practice. The guideline comprises 26 recommendations, encompassing physiotherapy assessment, patient selection and prioritisation, and treatment. Physiotherapy treatment covers domains of humidification, patient positioning, hyperinflation techniques, manual chest wall techniques, normal saline instillation, active treatment, and mobilisation. Recommendations are rated as strong or conditional based on JBI criteria, and certainty of evidence according to GRADE. Considerations for practice are provided within the guideline to enhance clarity and practicality, particularly for conditional recommendations where evidence is limited or conflicting. This guideline, based on the best available evidence for clinical physiotherapy practice for adults invasively ventilated with CAP, is intended to support clinicians with clinical decision making. Further research is required to evaluate guideline implementation into clinical practice, and incorporate the values and preferences of ICU patients and their families.
