Article Abstract
Building on the core syllabus for postgraduate training in respiratory physiotherapy, published in 2014, the European Respiratory Society (ERS) respiratory physiotherapy task force has developed a harmonised and structured postgraduate curriculum for respiratory physiotherapy training. The curriculum outlines the knowledge, skills and attitudes which must be mastered by a respiratory physiotherapist working with adult or paediatric patients, together with guidance for minimal clinical exposures, and forms of learning and assessment. This article presents the rationale, methodology and content of the ERS respiratory physiotherapy curriculum. The full curriculum can be found in the supplementary material.

Pediatric bronchiectasis action management plan to improve clinical outcomes: An RCT.
Chest

Background: Managing bronchiectasis exacerbations is a priority for patients/parents/caregivers of children with bronchiectasis, yet evidence-based strategies among the pediatric population remain limited.
Research Question: Does the use of a personalized, written bronchiectasis action management plan (BAMP), compared to standard care, reduce non-scheduled doctor visits among children/adolescents with chronic suppurative lung disease (CSLD)/bronchiectasis?
Study Design And Methods: Our multicenter, double-blind, superiority, randomized controlled trial enrolled children from three Australian respiratory departments between June 2018 and December 2020. Children/adolescents aged <19 years with CSLD/bronchiectasis were randomized to receive a personalized BAMP (intervention) or standard care (controls).
Cycling-Based Telerehabilitation: Acceptability and Feasibility Study.

Villa Beretta Rehabilitation Center, Costa Masnaga, Italy.
Background: Telerehabilitation is a promising solution to provide continuity of care. Most existing telerehabilitation platforms focus on rehabilitating upper limbs, balance, and cognitive training, but exercises improving cardiovascular fitness are often neglected.
Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of a telerehabilitation intervention combining cognitive and aerobic exercises.

Background: Vascular changes are observed in children with cystic fibrosis (cwCF), and gender-specific differences may impact arterial stiffness. We aimed to compare arterial stiffness and clinical parameters based on gender in cwCF and to determine the factors affecting arterial stiffness in cwCF.
Methods: Fifty-eight cwCF were included.
Aim: Positive expiratory pressure devices are frequently used for airway clearance in children with cystic fibrosis and tracheobronchomalacia. This study aimed to establish if electrical impedance tomography is a feasible measure to titrate pressures in non-sedated children.
Method: Ten children with cystic fibrosis and tracheobronchomalacia performed airway clearance using positive pressure devices whilst monitored with electrical impedance tomography.

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a common surgical approach for advanced coronary artery disease unresponsive to conservative or percutaneous treatments. Despite its benefits in symptom relief and long-term outcomes, CABG is associated with notable postoperative respiratory complications. As such, respiratory physiotherapy plays a crucial role in recovery.
