COVID-19, Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Conditions
Brief summary
To test the effectiveness of a respiratory physiotherapy treatment plan in patients who have passed COVID-19, comparing two randomized groups, for the performance of different respiratory musculature training protocols. To objectify the results data obtained by means of ultrasound measurements and spirometry, observing the differences obtained at the beginning and end of the study, verifying the effectiveness of the PowerBreathe® ,Therosold PEP® tools and the effectiveness of diaphragmatic, abdominal and expiratory exercises.
Interventions
DEVICEPowerBreathe and PEP Therosold tools
Initially, the following data were collected from each subject in addition to basic epidemiological data: M-mode diaphragmatic excursion measurements, both in inspiration and expiration via ultrasound; spirometry is also carried out, obtaining values of forced vital capacity (FVC or FVC), forced expiratory volume (FEV), portion of FVC (FEV1/FVC), peak expiratory flow (PEF), mean expiratory flow, peak inspiratory pressure (PIM) and peak expiratory pressure (PEM). A 30-day treatment plan was carried out in which one group (Tool Group) had to perform 5 minutes of exercise with each tool, alternating with one minute of rest between each minute of exercise, starting with the Therosold PEP® and then the PowerBreathe®. The resistances applied to the devices were marked according to the specific assessment of each subject, in relation to the spirometric values of PIM and PEM.
