Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
What are the characteristics of resistance and reactance measured by FOT in post COVID-19 period after discharge and on further follow up after one month?Timepoint: 0 and 1 month

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1)To measure - Resistance R5, R20, R5-R20 and reactance X5, X20, X inspiratory-X expiratory) by FOT. 2)Oxygen saturation (SPO2), dyspnoea scale in the first 50 COVID-19 patients visiting for the first follow up to the CGHS wellness center after discharge and further at one month follow-up. 3)To correlate FOT indices with the blood markers like C reactive protein, D-Dimer, lymphocyte count, radiological findings (CXR and HRCT), oxygen done at the time of hospitalization and mMRC dyspnoea score. Timepoint: 0 and 1 month
