Listen "“ECMO Isn’t the Problem—Therapists Are: An OT’s Unfiltered Rant on Evidence, Roles, and Rehab in the ICU.”"
Episode Synopsis
Strap in for a no‑filter ride with Hao, "your Occupational Therapist". While commuting to work, Hao dismantles the myth that “there’s no evidence for OT in ECMO,” and argues the real crisis is therapists ignoring decade‑old biomechanics. From tilt‑tables to trunk control, Hao lays out a back‑to‑basics blueprint for critical‑care rehab—then challenges physios and OTs alike to reclaim their lanes. Listen if you’re ready to:• Re‑evaluate “early mobilization” buzzwords• Revisit forgotten biomechanical principles• Spark an ICU rehab revolution—one upright diaphragm at a time
