Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a new coronavirus that emerged in China in December 2019. The number of people infected with coronavirus is increasing all over the world. In 5% of coronavirus cases, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), septic shock, and/or multi-organ dysfunction/insufficiency, which require mechanical ventilation support, develop. The available information shows that physiotherapy practices should be performed on an individual basis based on the results of the multidisciplinary evaluation in the acute phase of the disease. Accordingly, the main methods of physiotherapy in the acute phase are positioning and mobilization. Some physiotherapy methods (e.g., diaphragmatic breathing, pursed-lip breathing techniques, positive expiratory pressure, and exercise training) are not recommended as they increase respiratory distress and respiratory work in the acute phase. It is essential to apply regular contact and droplet infection protection methods and to use personal protective equipment with high protection during physiotherapy methods that will be performed when clinically necessary.

COVID-19 hastalarında akut fazda fizyoterapi

Aralık 2019'da Çin'de ortaya çıkan şiddetli akut solunum sendromu koronavirüs 2 (SARS-CoV-2), koronavirüs hastalığına 2019 (COVID-19) neden olur. Koronavirüs bulaşmış insan sayısı tüm dünyada artmaktadır. Koronavirüs vakalarının% 5'inde mekanik ventilasyon desteği gerektiren akut solunum sıkıntısı sendromu (ARDS), septik şok ve / veya çoklu organ disfonksiyon / yetmezlik gelişir. Mevcut bilgiler, fizyoterapi uygulamalarının, hastalığın akut fazındaki multidisipliner değerlendirme sonuçlarına göre bireysel olarak yapılması gerektiğini göstermektedir. Buna göre, akut dönemde fizyoterapinin ana yöntemleri pozisyonlama ve mobilizasyondur. Akut dönemde solunum sıkıntısını ve solunum iş yükünü artırdığı için bazı fizyoterapi yöntemleri (örn. diyafragmatik solunum, pursed-lip solunumu, pozitif ekspiratuar basınç ve egzersiz eğitimi) önerilmemektedir. Standart temas ve damlacık enfeksiyonu koruma yöntemlerini uygulamak ve klinik olarak gerekli olduğunda uygulanacak fizyoterapi yöntemleri sırasında yüksek korumalı kişisel koruyucu ekipman kullanmak çok önemlidir.
