          Abstract

          Antecedentes y objetivo: La pandemia actual por COVID-19 está generando un elevado número de pacientes, que necesitan ingreso hospitalario por neumonía y que, tras su alta hospitalaria, precisan de un control evolutivo por persistencia de sintomatología. Dada la poca evidencia existente sobre el abordaje fisioterápico de estos pacientes y las restricciones de acceso al centro de salud, el objetivo es comprobar si una intervención de Fisioterapia en Atención Primaria (FAP), realizada a un paciente, través de consulta no presencial (CNP), es eficaz.

          Material y métodos: Se realizó la intervención fisioterápica: mediante CNP por vía telefónica, a un paciente varón de 47 años, a los 7 días tras ser dado de alta de neumonía por COVID-19. Se efectuó seguimiento de la disnea a través de escala de Borg modificada y escala del Medical Research Council (mMRC), pruebas de función física a través del Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) y de la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (CVRS), mediante la encuesta EuroQol-5D, así como del control evolutivo de constantes fisiológicas (temperatura, frecuencia cardiaca y saturación de oxigeno) durante 28 días de seguimiento. La intervención consistió en un programa de educación para la salud y ejercicio terapéutico.

          Resultados y conclusiones: El programa de atención fisioterápica telefónica ha permitido el tratamiento y el seguimiento del paciente (variables fisiológicas, SPPB, CVRS, en las que se ha objetivado mejoría). Por lo que este tipo de intervenciones mediante CNP, para pacientes dados de alta de neumonía COVID-19, merecen ser estudiados en profundidad, en futuros estudios.

          Background and Aim: The current COVID-19 pandemic is resulting in a high number of patients who need hospital admission for pneumonia and in many cases subsequent follow-up due to persistent symptoms. Since there is little existing evidence on the physiotherapy treatment approach, and there are restrictions to usual consultation, the aim is to check whether Physical Therapy Primary Care (PTPC) intervention through remote consultation is effective.

          Material and Methods: A 47-year-old male patient underwent a physiotherapy intervention through remote consultation (RC) over the phone 7 days after being discharged. On the one hand, dyspnoea was followed up by employing the modified Borg scale and modified Medical Research Council scale (mMRC), where physical function is assessed through the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). On the other hand, the Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL) was assessed through the EuroQol-5D questionnaire, and vital signs (temperature, heart rate and oxygen pressure) were monitored for 28 days. The intervention consisted of an educational programme for health and exercise therapy.

          Results and Conclusions: The physiotherapy phone consultation programme allowed the treatment and follow up of this patient (physiological variables, SPPB and HRQL) which resulted in improvement. Therefore, we suggest future trials are worth undertaking to study in-depth interventions based on remote consultation directed at these patients after discharge.
