Abstract

Introduction: A highly infectious disease of the respiratory tract, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can cause respiratory, physical and psychological dysfunction in patients. Therefore, pulmonary rehabilitation is crucial for patients admitted and discharged from COVID-19. The long-term sequelae of COVID-19 are unknown, but evidence of previous CoV outbreaks demonstrates impaired lung and physical function, reduced quality of life and emotional distress. Method: This is a systematic review of the literature carried out through digital bibliographic search of scientific articles published in printed and electronic journals, clinical trials, randomized studies, systematic reviews, in the period between the years 2003 and 2020. Results: Many survivors of COVID-19 that require critical care can develop psychological, physical and cognitive impairments. Conclusion: There is a clear need for guidance on the rehabilitation of COVID-19 survivors.
