COVID-19 has changed many things in our day-to-day lives, including how we interact with patients. Different practice settings face unique challenges in meeting the needs of this patient population and the COVID-19 disease process itself continues to evolve. Physical therapists and physical therapist assistants must continue to change as well. Join our group of content experts for a Q&A session to discuss solutions and lessons learned during this pandemic.

By the end of this session, the participant will be able to:
  • Describe skin challenges and interventions unique to the patient with COVID-19.
  • Discuss issues around staffing and PPE usage.
  • Describe clinical challenges raised by COVID-19 in clinical practice, including ways practicing clinicians have addressed these various challenges.
  • Describe aspects of physical reconditioning of the COVID patient, including problems and strategies.

There has been emerging evidence about COVID-19 but no definitive resources on how to translate this evidence into clinical practice. This course will highlight the steps that one institution took to create an inpatient Clinical Standards of Care, for physical therapy and occupational therapy related to this new condition. During this course, presenters will share emerging evidence from this updated resource which includes pathophysiology, cardiac and neurological considerations, common lab values, common images, and medical management of the patient with COVID-19. This information provides the foundation to their approach to evaluate and treat patients with COVID-19 and was incorporated in a clinical decision tree to assist with clinical reasoning in that facility for ICU and floor level patient care. Examples of workflows and interventions related to therapeutic intervention and education for patients and other bedside team members will be shared.

By the end of this session, the participant will be able to:
  • Discuss considerations on creating institutional standard of care documents for an interdisciplinary team.
  • Describe the pathophysiology of COVID-19, including the cardiac and neurologic effects.
  • Describe common lab values and medical management of patients diagnosed with COVID-19.
  • Discuss operational aspects of managing patients diagnosed with COVID-19 based on best available evidence.
