The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on health systems worldwide. From respiratory physiotherapy, the aim is to carry out cost-effective interventions based on the best available evidence, to minimize the functional effects in these patients. For this reason, a literature review was carried out to cement a theoretical proposal based on the operation and functionality related to respiratory physiotherapy compared to COVID-19. The results included publications and management guides in Spanish, English and Portuguese about the actions of the different countries against the functional commitments of COVID-19. It was concluded that respiratory physiotherapy applies intervention protocols, effects on COVID-19, for the mitigation of physical and functional complications that improve the quality of life of patients.
