Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. Respiratory drive will be measured using Spirometer Master Lab at baseline and post-intervention 2. Blood cortisol level will be measured by testing blood samples taken early in the morning at baseline and post-intervention 3. Dyspnoea will be measured using Modified 0–10 category-ratio Borg scale and Fifteen-Count Breathlessness Score daily until discharged; saturation will be measured using portable finger spirometer daily until discharge	—
