The number of people requiring intensive care after COVID-19 is growing at a rapid rate. Patients with COVID-19 have many clinical problems, including respiratory failure, excessive immunologic response and blood clotting disorders, renal failure, and myocarditis. Healthcare services have responded by drawing on evidence from patients with COVID-19 that is not directly applicable to their problems. Knowing the disease process and what tissues can be damaged is important in the rehabilitation process. Our specialists identify both possible and unlikely disorders, management assessment, overall prognosis and rehabilitation planning. The full range of individual issues arising from COVID-19 and their relative frequency are not yet known. Nevertheless, in addition to affecting the respiratory system, the virus can affect the heart and cardiovascular system, also directly the brain (encephalitis) and indirectly (e.g. secondary to hypoxia or vascular thrombosis), 7renal and kidney function, blood clotting and the gastrointestinal tract; therefore, we must assume that after COVID-19, a patient can develop persistent dysfunction of almost any organ system and therefore have almost any symptoms and signs. This is similar to the situation with many other conditions, including trauma, systemic lupus erythematosus, diabetes, and meningococcal septicemia. Patients with COVID-19 are more likely to have pre-existing disabling conditions, and in addition, they will experience the well-established direct (physical) and indirect (psychological) consequences associated with severe illness and prolonged ICU stays.
The situation with COVID-19 is more similar to the situation after an injury, when there is a very small correlation between the injury severity index - an assessment of the severity of the injury - and the need for rehabilitation. COVID-19 has changed the world we are used to, and these changes will not disappear after the quarantine ends. One of the peculiarities of the new healthcare situation will be an increase in the number of patients with serious complications after Covid. In particular, patients who were in the intensive care unit. Unfortunately, after leaving the hospital, such patients cannot be called completely healthy.
The specialists of our medical center have developed a new wellness program for the rehabilitation of patients who have suffered Covid 19.
We are the only ones in Skhidnytsia and the region to offer a program developed in accordance with European standards and protocols for the rehabilitation of such patients and perform it on the latest devices from world famous manufacturers.
For full recovery and maximum recovery after respiratory diseases, effective treatment and rehabilitation are necessary.
