The purpose of cardiopulmonary occupational therapy (CPOT) is to prevent, mitigate, or reverse cardiopulmonary dysfunction, and hence, the impairment of or threat to oxygen transport. Oxygen transport refers to the delivery, uptake, and extraction of oxygen at the tissue level, thus it reflects the adequacy of the structure and function of airways, lungs, pulmonary circulation, blood, heart, peripheral circulation, microcirculation, and tissue. CPOT refers to the prescription and delivery of primarily noninvasive interventions in the comprehensive management (diagnosis, assessment, treatment, and follow-up) of patients with primary or secondary cardiopulmonary dysfunction resulting from acute, chronic, and acute-on-chronic conditions, and the cardiopulmonary/cardiovascular manifestations of systemic disease. CPOT interventions include mobilization, exercise, body positioning, breathing control, coughing and airway clearance maneuvers, and manual techniques. Wherever possible and appropriate, CPOT is applied to optimize oxygen transport and to thereby replace, augment, or reduce the need for invasive medical and surgical management including pharmacological agents. Patient education and patient-driven treatment planning are fundamental components of CPOT. In addition, CPOT has an essential role in the promotion of optimal cardiopulmonary and cardiovascular health and fitness in the general population.
