Active Cycle Of Breathing Technique Verses Breathing Exercises In Post ICU COVID-19 Patients

June 11, 2024 updated by: Riphah International University

Comparison Of Active Cycle Of Breathing Technique And Breathing Exercises On Oxygen Saturation And Pulmonary Function Test In Post ICU COVID-19 Patients

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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
SPIROMETRY
Time Frame: 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.
4 weeks
PULSE OXIMETRY
Time Frame: 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.
