The COVID-19 pandemic has devastated individuals, families, and institutions throughout the world. Despite the breakneck speed of vaccine development, the human population remains at risk of further devastation. The decision to not become vaccinated, the protracted rollout of available vaccine, vaccine failure, mutational forms of the SARS virus, which may exhibit mounting resistance to our molecular strike at only one form of the viral family, and the rapid ability of the virus(es) to hitch a ride on our global transportation systems, means that we are will likely continue to confront an invisible, yet devastating foe. The enemy targets one of our human physiology's most important and vulnerable life-preserving body tissue; our brocho-alveolar gas exchange apparatus. Notwithstanding the fear and the fury of this microbe's potential to raise existential questions across the entire spectrum of human endeavor, the application of an early treatment intervention initiative, may represent a crucial tool in our defensive strategy. This strategy is driven by evidence-based medical practice principles, those not likely to become antiquated, given the molecular diversity and mutational evolution of this very clever “world traveler” .

“…The extension project was an important vehicle for the dissemination of aromatherapy as an ICP; in this direction, we highlight the relevance of aromatherapy in this current pandemic scenario. Aromatherapy is the aerosolization of essential oils derived from plants, such oils have aromatic properties, interact with the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and affect the limbic system (Alschuler, et al, 2020). There are certain ways of using aromatherapy that may be beneficial in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has recently been the cause of a global public health emergency. COVID-19, which is a highly contagious respiratory tract disease, is asymptomatic in most patients, but it can lead to severe pneumonia resulting in death, especially in elderly patients. Patients are adversely affected not only respiratoryly and physically, but also functionally and psychologically. Inactivity due to hospitalization and bed rest, physical inactivity due to constant quarantine and social distance cause adverse effects on immunity, respiratory, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal systems and brain. Offering a multidisciplinary approach, pulmonary rehabilitation is an indispensable part of treatment, especially in critically ill patients. Timely and appropriate rehabilitation plays an important role in preventing complications, supports weaning from mechanical ventilation, improves prognosis, quality of life, and facilitates return to daily activities and work. In this review, PR techniques that should be applied in the ward and in intensive care unit, rehabilitation recommendations applied after discharge and with telemedicine method, and the precautions to be taken in the outpatient program are mentioned.
