Abstract

  The Covid-19 has been a great challenge. At this time, it is interesting to approach patients with severe COVID who have required prolonged admission to the Critical Care Unit (ICU), intubation with connections to mechanical respiration, even connection to the extracorporeal oxygenation membrane (ECMO), because our hospital (Virgen de la Arrixaca, University Hospital, in Murcia), is reference for connection to ECMO. We have elaborated a process/protocol for offering physical and psychological care (assessment, diagnosis and treatment) from the hospital environment and specifically from Rehabilitation Service. This constitutes a challenge and we consider that it will have a significant improvement in both physical and psychological symptoms. We are working in the context to Post ICU Syndrome. The sample is reduced by the severity of the patients. We cannot offer results due to the recent pandemic and because in our region it occurred one month later than in the rest of the most affected regions in Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao). We are in the first medical and psychological evaluations and treatment in the actuality.
