Description

We are hearing different terminology but one thing is evident….up to 83% of patients are experiencing persistent symptoms after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. Symptoms that are not explained by an alternative diagnosis.

While there remains a tremendous degree of speculation on Post-COVID Syndrome, I will provide you with the most current, scientific and peer reviewed data to assess and treat your own patients.  Join me, Dr. Paul Langlois, APN, Ph.D., CCRN, CCNS, CNRN, a critical care clinical specialist, for a 90-minute presentation that will tackle what you must know today.  Because of how quickly new research is being released related to Post-COVID Syndrome, there are plenty of questions that exist.  Questions from patients certainly.  And questions for those of us on the frontlines as well. 

We will discuss actual case studies to feature evaluation of disease trajectory and rehabilitation modalities.   I will share references, current guidelines and patient education tools. Let’s continue to learn from one another.  To be our best.  So that we can give our best to the patients we see.  There is so much hope on the horizon! 

Dr. Paul Langlois, APN, Ph.D., CCRN, CCNS, CNRN, 
and the PESI Healthcare Team
