Summary:"Background: SARS-CoV-2 is a still new condition whose etiologies and physiopathogensis are still incompletely elucidated, one of the certain things about this condition being the fact that it causes a multisystemic pathological affect. Material and methods: The study was conducted on a sample of 10 patients aged between 40 and 65 years from the Intensive Care Unit. The main inclusion criterion was the presence of chronic respiratory failure exacerbated by SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia, with all patients following the same recovery protocol. Results: The results showed improvement in forced expiratory volume, forced vital capacity, overall mobility, and in quality of life. Conclusion: Respiratory physiotherapy determines a significant improvement of the respiratory function in the patients infected with SARS-CoV-2"
