Brief Summary

Studies reveal that the Covid-19 virus can be transmitted in three ways: respiratory tract, direct contact and feces. The incubation period is estimated to be 5.2 \[4.1-7.0\] days for the 95% confidence interval and the virus transmission coefficient (R0) baseline growth number is 2.2 \[1.4-3.9\]. The main signs and symptoms described in the literature are; other atypical symptoms, particularly fever (98%), cough (76%), myalgia or fatigue (44%); sputum (28%), headache (8%), hemoptysis (5%), vomiting (5%), diarrhea (3%) and shortness of breath were detected. In addition to lymphopenia, which is detected in 63% of cases, pneumonia is also present. Widely regarded as the cornerstone of pulmonary rehabilitation, exercise training is the best way to improve muscle function in COPD and other chronic respiratory diseases. After 326 patients hospitalized in the pandemic clinical services of a public hospital were randomly divided into the experimental (n=168) and control groups (n=168), the effect of the experiment on the respiratory parameters of the experiment will be monitored without any intervention in the control group, while deep breathing and coughing exercises will be applied to the experimental group. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of deep breathing and coughing exercises on respiratory parameters in patients treated for pneumonia due to COVID-19 disease.

Conditions

COVID-19 Pneumonia; Respiratory Disease

Keywords

Covid-19; pneumonia; breathing exercise; coughing exercise

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• measuring the severity of dyspnea

  The effect of breathing and coughing exercises with triflo on dyspnea in patients with Covid-19 pneumonia using by Dispne-12 scale.

  1st , 5th and 10th days

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• respiratory parameters

  1st, 5th and 10nd days

• effect on secretion

  1st, 5th and 10nd days

Study Arms (2)

experimental group

EXPERIMENTAL

In addition to the routine care in the hospital, the patient will be given deep breathing and coughing exercises.

Other: deep breathing and coughing exercises with triflo

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

There will be no intervention other than routine nursing care practices in the hospital.

Interventions

deep breathing and coughing exercises with triflo OTHER

patients will be given triflo. A video of the application of deep breathing and coughing exercises with triflo prepared by the researchers will be prepared. The video will be sent to the patients' phones. It will be ensured that the patients do the exercises every hour by watching the video and they will be followed.
