Abstract

The appearance of COVID-19 has been a problem for public health on a global scale, putting pressure on health care systems. The after-effects of this illness have highlighted the importance of rehabilitation in long COVID patients involv-ing different health professionals. The treatment of the respiratory after-effects of this disease in an outpatient setting is a specialized field. It is appropriate to offer a series of practical recommendations of cardio-respiratory rehabilitation that are helpful to the professionals involved in the after-effects when ending hospitalisation. This review of the literature includes ten key aspects of respiratory physiotherapy that range from assessment, parameters to monitor, signs of alarm and respiratory rehabilitation techniques and other exercises for this population.
