While people have survived the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become increasingly apparent that survival is only the first step to recovery; even months after recovery, many COVID-19 patients experience residual effects, both physical and mental. Patients report feeling weak, experiencing shortness of breath, insomnia, palpitations and restlessness, asthma-like symptoms (where there were none before), higher heart rates, and for those who are pre-diabetic, higher blood sugar. The Post-COVID-19 Respiratory Recovery Clinic at Evercare Hospital aims to help these post COVID patients continue their recovery journey.
It is recommended that those who have suffered from moderate to severe COVID-19 infections be under observation by physicians for up to 3 months minimum, as well as regularly consult their physician afterwards in case of persistent symptoms or after-effects.
In a different study researchers have observed that the vast majority of hospitalized COVID-19 patients show lung damage 6 weeks after discharge, but this proportion drops gradually after 12 weeks with good respiratory support, suggesting that the lungs have a self-repair mechanism.
To enroll these post-COVID patients and provide them with quality healthcare, Evercare Hospital Dhaka’s Post-COVID-19 Respiratory Clinic offers the best recovery services available today.
Post-Covid Recovery Clinic Services include pulmonary care & rehabilitations, pulmonary physiologic testing, pulmonary imaging, rehabilitation, psychiatric and social services as well as research studies related to COVID-19. Results of all laboratory tests including COVID-19 tests are available within 24 hours (in most cases).
When returning home after COVID-19 recovery, we advise the following: control of persistent symptoms (cough, dyspnea), supplemental oxygen, post-discharge physical and emotional function Issues relating to safe return-to-work and discontinuation of transmission-based precautions, adequate nutrition, and safe mobility and psychosocial support.
We also offer home recovery support including multi-disciplinary involvement for medical complications for heart issues such as arrhythmia and myocardial dysfunction, as well as support for issues related to prolonged ICU stay such as loss of muscle, myopathy, neuropathy, anxiety and depression.
This is one such initiative by Evercare Hospital Dhaka to help the people who are suffering from the grip of COVID-19 even months after the infection leaves their bodies. We believe that if we all come forward and work together, we can all help each other win against this pandemic.
