TI  - Role of rehabilitation in a COVID-19 survivor with intensive care
unit-acquired weakness: A case report
AB  - Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is a catastrophic and debilitating clinical condition that causes generalized weakness
and predisposes to adverse short- and long-term outcomes. Novel coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has been a global pandemic
since November 2019. Each additional ICU admission for COVID-19 stresses intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital capacity. Accurately
designed, timely rehabilitation procedures may reduce the patient burden of ICUs and hospitals. In this article, we describe a COVID-19
survivor who developed acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and ICU-AW. Early pulmonary rehabilitation in the ICU and
long-term rehabilitation maintenance after the ICU and hospital discharge resulted in a positive outcome.
