As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many people are interested in whether health care interventions can be done virtually or remotely. CADTH conducted a Rapid Response regarding virtual pulmonary rehabilitation (programs to improve lung function) for patients with respiratory disease or post-intensive care syndrome (health problems individuals may experience after being in intensive care). Literature regarding the clinical effectiveness of virtual pulmonary rehabilitation for patients with respiratory disease was identified, and one evidence-based guideline related to the use of virtual pulmonary rehabilitation for patients with respiratory disease was identified.
