ABREUS MORA, Jorge Luis e GONZALEZ CURBELO, Vivian Bárbara. Respiratory Physiotherapy and COVID-19. Rev. Finlay [online]. 2021, vol.11, n.3, pp. 323-326. Epub 30-Set-2021. ISSN 2221-2434.
Physiotherapy is an integral part of intensive care management. Respiratory physiotherapy is considered one of the therapeutic options for the relief of symptoms in various respiratory viral infections, including COVID-19. COVID-19 infection significantly increased the risk of mortality and the burden of disability for most survivors. The rehabilitation needs of infected people should be a priority in the care of these patients. Physiotherapy is presented as a prophylactic and therapeutic strategy for the treatment of this condition. Early interventions, including exercise and mobilization, help reduce the severity of associated complications and facilitate functional recovery after the acute phase.
