AB The  physical  therapy  (PT)  examinations  and  interventions  presented  in  this  chapter  focus  on  the  patient  with  cardiopulmonary  dysfunction  fitting  the  model  of  preferred  Practice  Pattern  6E:  Impaired  Ventilation  and  Respiration/Gas  Exchange  Associated  With  Ventilatory  Pump  Dysfunction  or  Failure.1  In  the  1st  edition  of  the  Guide  to  Physical  Therapy  Practice  in  1997,2  this  pattern  was  separated  into  two  different  practice  patterns  to  distinguish  ventilatory  pump  dysfunction  (PPP  6F)  from  ventilatory  pump  failure  (PPP  6H).  However,  the  main  difference  between  the  dysfunction  and  the  failure  is  the  severity  and/or  acuity  of  the  dysfunction;  thus,  it  is  more  appropriate  that  they  be  grouped  into  one  practice  pattern.  In  this  way,  particular  levels  of  impairment  or  function  may  be  used  to  specifically  distinguish  ventilatory  pump  dysfunction  from  ventilatory  pump  failure  using  identifiable  characteristics  within  a  continuum  of  ventilatory  pump  function.  As  we  shall  see,  several  specific  patient  characteristics  can  be  used  to  distinguish  ventilatory  pump  dysfunction  from  failure  that  will  enable  more  specific  and  appropriate  PT  interventions.
