“…The researchers believe that this percentage was of infected persons among second-hand smoke because they inhale smoke containing dust particles, this increases the rate of damage to the lungs, making them more susceptible to the invasion of microorganisms, especially the Coronavirus. The result of the studies that was done by Osinibi, et al, (2021), Garcia, et al, (2021), and Athbi, and Abed-Ali, (2020) exposed a relationship between passive smoking and infection with some diseases or an increase in the severity of their complications.…”

Method: A sixty patients with COVID-19 were randomly selected to conduct an experimental study to investigate the benefits of prostrate position and coughing exercises upon cardiopulmonary parameters among non-intubated patients with COVID-19. Results: two-thirds of participants were ˃60 years old, 60% and 46.7% of the experimental and control group respectively were males, 36.7% of participants did not have any chronic diseases, but asthma was present in a third of them. The bilateral-peripheral and central area was the affected part of the lung in more than 40% of patients. More than 45% of the lung volume was affected in 80% of the experimental group and 50% of the control group. Finally, 96.7% of the experimental group and 90% of the control group did not take the COVID-19 vaccine. Furthermore, a statistically significant difference was found between the mean of cardiopulmonary parameters for the experimental group, while there was no statistical significance difference that was shown in the control group. Conclusion: the application of prostrate position and coughing exercises have a positive effect on improving cardiopulmonary parameters among COVID-19 patients lasting for more than four hours. Keywords: Prostrate Position, Coughing Exercises, Cardiopulmonary Parameters, COVID-19.
