Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Oxygen saturation percentage. Timepoint: before beginning physiotherapy interventions and after completion 6 physiotherapy sections corresponding to each group. Method of measurement: pulse oximetry.;Partial pressure of oxygen ( Pao2). Timepoint: before beginning physiotherapy interventions and after completion 6 physiotherapy sections corresponding to each group. Method of measurement: arterial blood gases (ABG).;Forced vital capacity (FVC). Timepoint: before beginning physiotherapy interventions and after completion 6 physiotherapy sections corresponding to each group. Method of measurement: spirometer.;Forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1 ). Timepoint: before beginning physiotherapy interventions and after completion 6 physiotherapy sections corresponding to each group. Method of measurement: spirometer.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
