ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

We present a case report that complements the conclusion of Stam et al. in their call to rehabilitation facilities to anticipate and prepare to address post intensive care syndrome in post-Covid-19 patients.

METHODS:

The case report presented here provides insight into treating mechanically ventilated post-Covid-19 patients.

RESULTS:

Early intervention with dysphagia therapy and speech therapy and ventilator-compatible speak-ing valves, provided within an interprofessional collaborative team, can mitigate the potentially negative consequences of prolonged intubation, long-term use of cuffed tracheostomy, and post intensive care syndrome resulting from Covid-19.

CONCLUSION:

Such a treatment approach can be used to address what is important to patients to be able to speak with family and friends, eat what they want, and breathe spontaneously.
