LUNA, Roger Christian De la Cerna et al. Rehabilitation recommendations for adult patients with Covid-19. Rev. Fac. Med. Hum. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.3, pp.595-609. ISSN 1814-5469. http://dx.doi.org/10.25176/rfmh.v21i3.2957.
Introduction:
The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is a new pathogen causing COVID-19 disease, ranging from an asymptomatic infection to a critical condition dependent on mechanical ventilation. Rehabilitation interventions contribute for the prevention and treatment of related complications and associated disability.
Objective:
Describe rehabilitation recommendations for adult patients with COVID-19.
Methods:
A literature search was carried out. Databases and portals were consulted using the following terms and their equivalents: SARS-CoV2, COVID-19, rehabilitation, physiotherapy. The search was carried out in Spanish, English, Chinese and Italian languages, with a time window between January 2010 and April 2020.
Results:
23 publications met the predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Based on the information obtained, recommendations and tables were prepared regarding the clinical classification of COVID-19, medical behavior to be followed according to severity, general care and rehabilitation interventions in adult patients with COVID-19.
Conclusions:
Rehabilitation interventions are essential and indispensable resources for the multidisciplinary treatment of patients with COVID-19, despite of the low quality of the available evidence.
