Abstract

To report a management and therapeutic monitoring protocol for ELMOcpap in COVID-19. This is a study of the experience report type of the professional daily life of a nucleus of resident physiotherapists in infectious diseases carried out at the São José Hospital for Infectious Diseases (HSJ) regarding the experience regarding the institutional protocol for the management and monitoring of ELMOcpap therapy developed in the institution. After analyzing the shared experiences, the results were described abaout the management of ELMOcpap at Covid-19; and therapeutic monitoring, in which protocols and guidelines found for the implementation of the ELMOcpap at the HSJ were addressed and compiled, including experiences lived by the core of resident physical therapists at the hospital. The management protocol and therapeutic monitoring of ELMOcpap follow recommendations established in accordance with the standards of the ELMO interface developers. Furthermore, the institutional protocol facilitates the identification of therapy failure or success, allowing a safe and effective management of non-invasive ventilatory support applied to patients with COVID-19.
