COVID-19 in the Intensive Care Unit : Medical, Nursing, and Physical Therapy Challenges

COVID-19 in the Intensive Care Unit: Medical, Nursing, and Physical Therapy Challenges Abstract. The treatment of patients with COVID-19 is a big challenge for intensive care units: substantial additional staff and material is needed to treat the surge of patients admitted in short time. Treatment is difficult as many patients present with multiple organ failure, including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Mostly, oxygenation is substantially impaired and compliance low, and many patients need prone positioning. This article deals with the difficulties during the first surge of patients with COVID-19. The suffering of the relatives who were not allowed to visit must also be considered.
