Summary

Although the COVID-19 pandemic was announced almost 2 years ago, societies are still facing the effects not only of individuals but also of entire populations. Clinical symptoms in patients depending on the variant of the virus range from fever, sore throat, cough, fatigue, or gastrointestinal or neurological symptoms. Symptoms of respiratory failure also occur, as well as heart and kidney damage. Therefore, it is important to implement appropriate pulmonary rehabilitation programs to counteract the effects of the disease. The current project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation program for patients hospitalized for SARS-CoV2 infection.

PROCEDURE

Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program

An in-patients 3-week high intensity rehabilitation program, five times a week, was used as the intervention treatment. The author's pulmonary rehabilitation program was programmed based on previous experience in patients with COPD. A holistic pulmonary rehabilitation program with combined treatment focused on increasing exercise capacity, restoring lung function, and supporting mental health, developed by a multidisciplinary team, was introduced. Based on the patient's submaximal exercise tolerance test results, the qualification for one of the respiratory physiotherapy models differing in therapy intensity was performed. Rehabilitation models included exercise capacity training on a cycle ergometer, breathing exercises, general fitness exercises, resistance training, and relaxation.
