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.

Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are intended to support clinical decisions and should be based on high-quality evidence. Theobjective of the study was to evaluate the quality of evidence supporting the recommendations issued in CPGs for therapy,diagnosis, and prevention of hospital-acquired and venti...
