Post-Acute Sequelae SARS-CoV-2 Infection (PASC): Evaluation and Management in Adults Post-COVID-19
Copyright :
Long haulers. Post-COVID symptoms. Post-Acute Sequelae SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC).
We are hearing different terminology, but one thing is evident….at least 1 in 3 patients are experiencing persistent symptoms after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. Symptoms that are not explained by an alternative diagnosis.
These are not people who have been seriously ill in the hospital, but patients who are often physically fit, younger people who report persistent exercise intolerance, breathlessness and cough, anxiety, palpitations, “brain-fog” and poor concentration. This false boom and bust—the illusion of recovery only to fall back into mental and physical exhaustion – is the story of those with Post-Acute Sequelae SARS-CoV-2 infection.
While most people recover quickly and completely from the COVID-19 virus, stories of persistent and troubling symptoms have now moved from anecdote to the peer reviewed journals. 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. Patients are coming to us with their questions. Those of us on the frontlines have them as well.
We will discuss actual case studies to feature evaluation of disease trajectory and the very latest treatments. I will provide references, current guidelines and patient education tools. As a healthcare provider, you are responsible to assess and manage your patient, regardless if it is a well-established or novel condition. You need the knowledge and resources to do that.
