Abstract

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) or COVID-19 has grown to become a global pandemic. Although much has been learned about the virus, the complete impact is still not fully understood. This highly infectious pathogen can cause multiple complications in infected individuals, leading to impairments and functional limitations. To date, there has been limited literature available to describe the rehabilitation needs of patients with COVID-19. New York City (NYC) was initially identified as the United States epicenter, where various health system faced unique considerations when managing patients with COVID-19. The purpose of this article was to share the clinical perspectives of the acute physical therapy (PT) team working in one of the large health system in NYC. The report will describe the role PT played in the evaluation, assessment, and treatment of patients with COVID-19 as they navigated the acute hospital setting.

新冠肺炎大流行病中的急性康复：一线物理治疗视角的病例报告

严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒（SARS-CoV-2）或新冠肺炎已发展成为全球大流行。尽管人们对这种病毒已经了解了很多，但其完整影响仍不完全清楚。这种高度传染性的病原体会在感染者身上引起多种并发症，导致损伤和功能限制。迄今为止，描述新冠肺炎患者康复需求的文献有限。纽约市最初被确定为美国的中心，在那里，各种卫生系统在管理新冠肺炎患者时面临着独特的考虑。本文的目的是分享在纽约市一个大型卫生系统工作的急性物理治疗（PT）团队的临床观点。该报告将描述PT在新冠肺炎患者在急性医院环境中的评估、评估和治疗中发挥的作用。（Cardiopulm Phys Ther J.2021；32:S8–S14）
