Resumo

A pandemia da COVID-19 desafia o sistema de saúde. A alta transmissibilidade viral e ausência de tratamento específico torna necessária a adoção de estratégias para mitigação do contágio, que se dá pela dispersão de partículas no ar. A apneia do sono é uma condição clínica que demanda o uso de dispositivos de pressão positiva e acessórios (incluindo interface) pelo paciente. A válvula exalatória contida nas interfaces pode contribuir para maior aerossolização desse ar, aumentando a chance de contágio. Além disso, há grande proximidade física entre paciente e profissional de saúde no período de tratamento inicial, acarretando muitas dúvidas para os fisioterapeutas que atuam na área acerca do manuseio dos dispositivos e condutas mais adequadas. Embasado nas melhores evidências científicas disponíveis, este documento objetiva esclarecer e auxiliar o fisioterapeuta a conduzir e orientar seus pacientes durante o período de pandemia da COVID-19.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic challenges the health care system. High viral transmissibility and the absence of a specific treatment leads to the adoption of strategies to mitigate contamination, caused by the dispersion of particles in the air. Sleep apnoea is a clinical condition that requires the use of positive pressure devices and accessories (e.g., face mask) by the patient. The exhalation exit in the mask may contribute to higher aerosol dispersion, increasing the chance of contaminating the people around. Furthermore, patients and health professionals keep close physical contact during the early period of treatment, raising many doubts for physiotherapists who work in this field regarding the handling of devices and use of techniques. Based on the best scientific evidence available, this document aims to assist the physiotherapist with treating and guiding his/her patient during the pandemic.
