Summary
According to recently published literature the evaluation of imaging exams of the most severe cases is of great relevance. Physiotherapeutic procedures can be considered high risk when they include aerosol-generating, such as: aspiration of the airways, collection of secretion from the upper airways, the aid during of tracheal intubation and cardiorespiratory arrest manuevers. It is important to remember even direct handling of the patient for positioning, elective tracheal extubation, change of the barrier filters and adjustment/ fixation of tracheal tube are procedures of risk [11,12,13,14,15].
