Effectiveness of an Exercise Re-training Program on Dyspnea in Patients After Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Secondary to Severe COVID-19 Pneumonia in Post-ICU
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Specific exercise rehabilitation treatment and No specific exercise rehabilitation treatment for Dyspnea. Completed, enrolled 63 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
Dyspnea is defined by a subjective sensation of respiratory discomfort, the intensity of which varies according to the terrain, the anamnesis and the cause. Resuscitation is associated with many causes of dyspnea, including initial distress, mechanical ventilation, or after-effects following the pathology and its management. Respiratory distress is the most severe form of impaired lung function. It is the first cause of hospitalization in intensive care. This distress, indicative of the failure of the respiratory system, is always severe and potentially fatal. It therefore constitutes an absolute therapeutic emergency. Dyspnea is often the revealing symptom of the condition and the urgency surrounding its management is an additional factor of concern for the patient. As a result, dyspnea is a pejorative element associated with severity or even death.

Timeline
Interventions
Patients meeting the eligibility criteria will be selected consecutively. They will be contacted by telephone after at least 3 months post-resuscitation. The mMRC score is then evaluated. In case of mMRC\>1, the study will then be proposed by the physiotherapist or the referring investigating physician of each participating center during this call. The patient is then offered an appointment on the reference rehabilitation platform of each center. The CDM measurement as well as the quality of life by the SF-12 scale are also carried out. Randomization will be stratified on the type of management during the resuscitation stay (invasive mechanical ventilation/high-flow nasal oxygen therapy) to ensure a good distribution between the 2 study arms ("control" or "treatment").
