INTRODUCTION:
COVID19disease aglobalpandemicwillberemembered for rapid onset respiratory failure
requiring Oxygen therapy, Prolonged Mechanical ventilation and Proning. It required
Prolonged duration of hospitalization, Inotropic supports, Antibiotics, Steroids,
Fluctuation in Sugar levels and prolonged use of muscle relaxants for mechanical
ventilation which is associated with increased incidence on Critical illness
polymyopathy.
Hence, we collected retrospective data of critically ill COVID-19 patients who
developed from critical illness myopathy and assessed the effect of various risk factors
and interventions like physiotherapy on the long-term outcome in these patients.
3. METHODOLOGY:

DATA COLLECTION.
Demographic details, Vitals, dose of inotropes, Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS), SOFA scores
at arrival, Glucose levels, Arterial blood gas analysis, Complete blood count,
Electrolytes, and Use of antibiotics, Steroids, Hydroxychloroquine/chloroquine,
Antivirals were collected. Use of interventions, and Various physiotherapy
measures(re-education, long sitting on the bed, chair mobilization, walking, and gait
balance) in terms of outcomes.

DISCUSSION:
One important finding in our case
series was the effect of protocol-based
physiotherapy interventions on
survival.
Physiotherapy
5. CONCLUSION:
In patients with COVID-19 related critical illness myopathy, use of protocol based
physiotherapy interventions leads to improved survival. Further studies with larger
population of cases are needed to draw a stronger conclusion.
