Abstract
Abstract: The current literature has insufficiently examined the potential benefits of implementing early neuropsychological interventions for critically ill patients who have experienced COVID-19. To address this research gap, we conducted a descriptive analysis of clinical and neuropsychological data from N = 29 critically ill patients with COVID-19 admitted to an early neurological rehabilitation facility. Most patients had been diagnosed with critical illness polyneuropathy (CIP), and one-third exhibited additional brain damage. Upon admission, all patients exhibited severe cognitive impairments, demonstrating significant improvement following neuropsychological therapy. Nonetheless, the neurocognitive outcomes at discharge displayed a high cognitive and psychoemotional status variability. This paper presents the neuropsychological treatment concept we employed and discusses challenges encountered while treating critically ill patients with cognitive impairments.
