Click to Return to Search Page VIEW SELECTED LIBRARY MEDIA Name of Media: How to Try to Recover if You Have Long-Haul COVID-19 Symptoms Author(s): Ann Pietrangelo Publisher or Source: Healthline Type of Media: Newspaper Article Media Originally for: General Public Country of Origin: United States of America (the) Primary Focus of Media: Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) COVID-19 Related: Yes Description: Most people who get COVID-19 recover within a few weeks. But months later, some continue to struggle with symptoms. They’ve become known as the “long haulers.” The phenomenon is also called “long COVID-19” or “post-COVID-19 syndrome.” “As things progress, hopefully the terminology will settle on one or another,” said Dr. Matthew J. Ashley, a neurologist at the Centre for Neuro Skills in California. Whatever you call it, the long-term effects of COVID-19 are estimated to affect 25 to 30 percent of people who’ve had the disease. “It’s hard to define what really belongs in this category,” Ashley told Healthline. “There are a lot of emerging and serious long-term consequences of COVID-19 that relate back to the illness but are separate and distinct things,” he said, “such as stroke, heart attack, anoxic brain injury, Guillain-Barré syndrome, pulmonary embolism, DVT, etc., that occur in some patients because of COVID-19 and its consequences.” “Then there are the unfortunate people who end up spending weeks in the hospital and ICU who experience associated complications from that, including post-ICU syndrome, PTSD, or the like,” Ashley added. “Whether this is part of the ‘long-hauler’ syndrome or not, it certainly causes significant long-term consequences for people and deserves attention.” To view the PDF, Article, Photo, or Chart, Click Icon: To view the attached Video media file, Click Icon: PostICU, Inc's library staff reviewed this copyrighted material contained in the library and reasonably believes that its inclusion in our library complies with the "Fair Use Doctrine" because: (1) our library's is for nonprofit and educational purposes; (2) the nature of the copyrighted work is related to our mission; (3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole is fair and reasonable; and (4) the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work will if impacted, should be enhanced, by its presence in our library.

They are critically ill and after leaving the ICU, most of them develop health complications related to their injury, illness, ventilator and other treatments. In most cases, such issues are hardly treated and continue after a patient leaves the health sector. Notably, sepsis, delirium, and respiratory distress syndrome may increase the chances of a person experiencing these health issues. There has been an advancement of healthcare with a motive of improving outcomes for these patients as well as their recovery.

However, anecdotal experience across a number of London ICUs indicates that a high proportion has significant physical functional impairment (more than 50 % of those discharged from ICU) and the range of impairments is diverse.There is an immediate need to provide specialist, effective and targeted rehabilitation for patients recovering from the disease to improve functional outcomes and to ensure they make the best possible recovery.

FCCP Publisher or Source: Health Leaders Media Type of Media: Magazine Article Media Originally for: General Public,General Medical Professionals Country of Origin: United States of America (the) Primary Focus of Media: Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) COVID-19 Related: Yes Description: The latest findings are honing in on the clinical conditions associated with COVID-19, along with the specific care pathways needed for patients, once stabilized, to fully recover. Specialized care after the initial hospital stay is proving to play a critical role. Hospitalized COVID-19 patients often experience significant pulmonary complications, including severe pneumonia and acute respiratory distress-like syndrome. Further, many physicians are reporting that patients are developing post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) due to an intensive care unit (ICU) stay measured in weeks rather than days. The virus is also resulting in strokes, and causing sepsis, which can lead to multi-system failure and leave a patient with lasting damage to the lungs and other organs. This brief details COVID-19 patient care management strategies and research on how the clinical expertise of LTAC hospitals is uniquely suited for post-COVID patients.
