Abstract
Introduction. Since the beginning of the new pandemic, Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) health services have had to face a new scenario. Voice therapy faces a double challenge, interventions using tele-practice, and delivering rehabilitation services to a growing population of patients at risk of functional impairment related to the COVID-19 disease. Moreover, as COVID-19 is transmitted through droplets, it is criti-cal to understand how to mitigate these risks during assessment and treatment.
Objective. To promote safety, and effective clinical practice to voice assessment and rehabilitation in the pan-demic COVID-19 context for speech-language pathologists.
Methods. A group of 11 experts in voice and swallowing disorders from five different countries conducted a consensus recommendation following the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery rules building a clinical guide for speech-language pathologists during this pandemic context.
Result. The clinical guide provides 79 recommendations for clinicians in the management of voice disorders dur-ing the pandemic and includes advice from assessment, direct treatment, telepractice, and teamwork. The consen-sus was reached 95% for all topics.
Conclusion. This guideline should be taken only as recommendation; each clinician must attempt to mitigate the risk of infection and achieve the best therapeutic results taking into account the patient's particular reality.
