A short history of therapist-driven respiratory care protocols

Respir Care Clin N Am. 1996 Mar;2(1):15-26.

Abstract

The literature of the TDP movement continues to grow, but a legitimate concern regarding mindless acceptance of the new paradigm is now being voiced. As this issue goes to press, it appears clear to this writer that the orderly growth of the TDP paradigm has led to its widespread acceptance. The future will determine whether our early predictions of its success are well founded.
