Post Covid Physio Rehab
The virus that causes Covid19
is in a family of viruses called Coronaviridae.
So do Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV)
and
Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (SARS-CoV)
In ICU, besides Nurses & Doctors,
PHYSIOS are the profession you will see THE MOST,
Physios are there to help you to position the LUNGS
for maximum ventilation perfusion.
When you are awake,
Physios teach you breathing exercise,
coughing method, ribs & upper extremities work out,
before you are transferred into Normal Ward.
Although you have been discharged from the hospital 🏨 or quarantine center,
you feel you already recovered.
But actually, not completely!!
Sometime feel like cannot take DEEP breath?
Cannot walk very long distance.
Walk slowly than Ah Ma due to breathless, tercungap cungap.
Breathing well, but feel NO AIR going inside the lungs?
Wanna run, but Breath wheezingly, lungs are whistling
Covid19 leaves our lungs NOT in maximum function.
Covid19 scars our lungs,
which explains why we are breathlessness,
why we always feel fatigue / tired
why X-Ray got whitish whitish
Your lungs need help!!!
Who can help your lungs?
In ICU, ventilators help expand your lungs by Positive Pressure.
Now, you can breath yourself.
SO, you need to learn how to create Positive pressure to push into your lungs.
BUT, if overpush, you may pengsan
(too high oxygen, too low oxygen)
YOU NEED AN EXPERT to guide you.
