Illustrated handbook on post-COVID-19 pulmonary rehabilitation
The year 2020 brought a pandemic of unprecedented proportion into our doorsteps and created many ‘new normals’. The deadly virus wreaked havoc on our economy and our health. We are even unsure about its long- term implications, especially on our pulmonary system. Managing post-covid pulmonary fibrosis, especially in those patients who managed to recover after mechanical or non-invasive ventilation, was an arduous process.
This handbook deals with such patients and their management through a novel graphics comics approach. Some topics that have been dealt with here include:
• Dyspnoea and positions for relief;
• Few helpful breathing retraining techniques;
• A useful self airway secretion management strategy;
• Types and methods of inspiratory muscle strengthening;
• Home-based reconditioning; etc.
