Rehabilitation for patients with COVID-19: From guidelines to personal experience
This webinar will highlight guidelines published by clinical experts on physiotherapy management for COVID-19 patients.
In the current crisis period it often happens that the long-term effects of hospital admission on patients with COVID-19 are neglected. Patients, who have been infected with COVID-19 and have been admitted to the hospital, should undergo physiotherapy as soon as their condition permits. Severely ill patients, who are on ventilators and are confined to a hospital bed for extended periods of time, have difficulty breathing as well as other physical problems due to prolonged inactivity.
Physiotherapists can be of great value to patients and their care in this regard. In this webinar, Patricia Rodrigues, an experienced physiotherapist, and guests will talk about the guidelines published by the clinical expert groups, providing helpful recommendations on physiotherapy management for patients with COVID-19.
You will learn what kind of therapy these guidelines recommend and what challenges PTs are experiencing in providing this therapy.
