Comparison between the persistence of post COVID-19 symptoms on critical patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation and non-critical patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

During follow-up, patients severely affected by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), show symptoms of Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) such as cognitive impairment, psychological disability, and neuromuscular deconditioning. In COVID-19 pandemic, it is a priority to develop multidisciplinary post-acute care services to address the long-term multisystemic impact of COVID-19.

Research question

Which are the most relevant multisystemic sequelae in severe post-COVID-19 patients?

Study design and methods

Observational chart review study that included adult patients discharged from a referral hospital for respiratory diseases in Mexico after recovering from severe COVID-19 disease from December 23, 2020, to April
