Post Covid-19 Patients
Conditions
Brief summary
The experiment was randomized and controlled. To create groups A and B,48 individuals were selected by sample selection criteria. Evaluation of oxygen saturation and pulmonary function tests were taken using a pulse oximeter and spirometer. Group A got chest physiotherapy with breathing exercises and ACBT whereas Group B got chest physiotherapy with breathing exercises. The treatment took 15-30 minutes and consisted of one session per day, treatment was given 6 days a week for up to 2 weeks and examined by using SPSS 22.

Masking description
This evidence supports current study that the use of ACBT exercises with Breathing exercises is helpful to improve respiratory performance. single blinded study only participant blind
Intervention model description
The study came to the conclusion that both techniques, breathing exercises with and without ACBT were beneficial in raising PaO2, FEV1, FVC, and the FEV1/FVC ratio as well as oxygen saturation. However, based on their mean differences, ACBT with breathing exercises was more beneficial in terms of the indicated end measures.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SPIROMETRY | 4 weeks | Spirometry is a simple test used to help diagnose and monitor certain lung conditions by measuring how much air you can breathe out in one forced breath. In a spirometry test, while you are sitting, you breathe into a mouthpiece that is connected to an instrument called a spirometer. The spirometer records the amount and the rate of air that you breathe in and out over a period of time. When standing, some numbers might be slightly different. |
| PULSE OXIMETRY | 4 weeks | pulse oximetry is a painless, noninvasive method of measuring the saturation of oxygen in a person's blood. Oxygen saturation is a crucial measure of how well the lungs are working. When we breathe in air, our lungs transmit oxygen into tiny blood vessels called capillaries. A normal pulse oximeter reading for your oxygen saturation level is between 95% and 100%. If you have a lung disease such as COPD or pneumonia, your normal oxygen saturation level may be lower. |
