The setting up of an advanced practice nursing activity to monitor patients with severe or very severe pneumonia associated with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2, is a reponse to the population's new health care needs and a massive influx of patients. The skills of the advanced practice nurse are mobilised in this context in order to carry out prevention missions and screening for potential sequelae which could lead to chronic respiratory failure.
