The main goal of early rehabilitation is minimizing the adverse effects of critically ill with COVID-19 on the respiratory system, restoring respiratory and physical independence, preventing the need for subsequent dependence on mechanical ventilation and subsequent hospitalizations and improving patient's quality of life. As of April 4, there is no report on early rehabilitation of critically ill patients with COVID-19 in the world. Secondly our experience at West China Hospital, where early rehabilitation intervention was introduced for critically ill patients with COVID-19, has been very positive. We believe that it is safe and effective to carry out early rehabilitation intervention for critical ill patients of COVID-19 with the cooperation of multidisciplinary teams. Early rehabilitation for critically ill patients with COVID-2019 will give more benefits than risks. ./cache/cord-354223-0ckpz0bx.txt ./txt/cord-354223-0ckpz0bx.txt
