Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Coronavirus-2019 disease (COVID-19) is a highly infectious respiratory disease that causes respiratory, physical and psychological dysfunction in patients.

With the increased understanding of the severity of COVID-19 and clinical evidence in accordance with the opinions of first-line clinical experts involved in the treatment of this epidemic, the investigators believe that the participation of patients with sequelae of COVID-19 in a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program would be of utmost importance.

According to recent scientific recommendations for patients with sequelae of COVID-19, respiratory rehabilitation would alleviate symptoms of dyspnea, anxiety and depression and, eventually, improve physical functions and quality of life.

Therefore, it is essential to anticipate early rehabilitation after the acute phase of ARDS, in order to limit the severity of the effects of the ICU and promote rapid functional recovery. Physiotherapy will play a role in providing exercise, mobilization and rehabilitation interventions for survivors of critical illnesses associated with COVID-19, in order to enable a functional social return.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigatores propose a clinical, prospective and consecutive study composed of participants with pulmonary sequelae of COVID-19 and pulmonary diseases such as COPD, Asthma, Bronchitis, Emphysema, Bronchiectasis and pulmonary fibrosis. Initially, all patients will undergo a physical assessment, pulmonary function tests and nutritional assessment, in addition to applying the modified dyspnea scale of the MMRC (Modified Medical Research Council) and the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), according to the standards recommended by the American Thoracic Society (ATS).

The proposed Outpatient and Home Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program is based on the Guidelines recommended by the Brazilian Society of Pulmonology (SBPT) and by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD), with a minimum duration of 12 weeks, frequency of 3 weekly sessions, accompanied by health professionals in this field.

Patients who seek care at municipal and state health services in the city of Anápolis, (Goiás) will be recruited. Patients with clinically stabilized COVID - 19 sequelae will be considered eligible, and who agree to participate in the study, signing the Informed Consent .

The outpatient PRP consisted of a combination of aerobic and strengthening exercises, lasting 12 weeks, frequency 3 times a week. Each session will consist of active warm-up exercises, upper and lower limb strengthening, aerobic conditioning and stretching exercises. The warm-up phase consists of intercalated calisthenic exercises for different muscle groups, according to each patient's tolerance.

Allocation Method

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

To compare the effects of an Outpatient and Home Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program aimed at patients with pulmonary sequelae resulting from COVID-19 and with other chronic lung diseases on clinical symptoms, level of physical activity, functional status, quality of life, survival and in health maintenance costs by the government.

Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors

Only the outcome assessors will be blinded to the data due to the fact that we have a group of patients undergoing the Outpatient Rehabilitation Program and another group of patients undergoing the Home Rehabilitation Program with follow-up by Tele-Rehabilitation

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Post COVID-19 Outpatient Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program

The outpatient Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program will be carried out at the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Laboratory, consisting of a combination of aerobic and strengthening exercises, lasting 12 weeks, with a frequency of 3 times a week, always in the morning. Each session consists of active warm-up exercises, upper and lower limb strengthening, aerobic conditioning and stretching exercises. The warm-up phase consists of intercalated calisthenic exercises for different muscle groups, according to each patient's tolerance.
