Guide de prise en charge des séquelles respiratoires post infection à SARS-CoV-2. Propositions de prise en charge élaborées par la Société de Pneumologie de Langue Française. Version du 10 novembre 2020

The French-speaking Respiratory Medicine Society (SPLF) proposes a guide for the management of possible respiratory sequelae in patients who have presented with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia (COVID-19). The proposals are based on known data from previous epidemics, preliminary published data on post COVID-19 follow-up and on expert opinion. The proposals were developed by a group of experts and then submitted, using the Delphi method, to a panel of 22 pulmonologists. Seventeen proposals were validated ranging from additional examinations after the minimum assessment proposed in the SPLF monitoring guide, to inhaled or systemic corticosteroid therapy and antifibrotic agents. These proposals may evolve over time as knowledge accumulates. This guide emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary discussion.
