| dc.description | Main Points Guidance is available from thoracic organisations internationally on pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) for COVID patients. A number of small studies and commentaries endorse the remote provision of PR as feasible and safe when provided by experienced PR clinicians. However, the need for high quality clinical research to strengthen the evidence base is acknowledged. A multidisciplinary approach to rehabilitation, inclusive of PR, is suggested by a number of commentators. It is recommended that patients’ individual needs and preferences are taken into consideration when creating a PR programme. Discussion in the literature regarding the tests and tools which can be used for remote PR is included in this summary. The importance of investment in digital connectivity and supports for telerehabilitation is emphasised in the literature. A number of on-going trials and reviews are being conducted on this topic, a selection of which are referenced herein. | en_US |
