“…Breathing exercises in COVID-19 are part of the Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) or Respiratory Rehabilitation Program (RRP) which has been shown to have a positive impact in repairing lung damage due to lung disease or the installation of mechanical ventilation devices (Chou et al, 2019). Before carrying out the PR and RRP programs, patients must first measure their lung function ability by walking for six minutes (Prakash et al, 2013). Research conducted at the Hainan Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical Univeristy in 2020 whose participant subjects used were 72 elderly people, where the group was divided into 2, namely 36 people who received breathing exercise for 6 weeks and 36 people who did not do the same breathing exercise.…”

Background: COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a virus. Globally, in January 2022 the number of new cases of COVID-19 increased by 5%, which is more than 21 million new cases. Signs and symptoms commonly found in COVID-19 patients are acute respiratory disorders such as fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Breathing exercise in the form of a method of breathing in a certain way helps to improve and improve lung performance which is good for quality of life. This study aims to analyze the effect of breathing exercises on respiratory function in COVID-19 patients. Subjects and Method:A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted by collecting articles from the Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct databases. The articles were filtered using the PICO model, including: Population= confirmed COVID-19 patients. Intervention= breathing exercises. Comparison= conventional breathing exercises. Outcome= respiratory function. The keywords used were "breathing exercise" AND "respiratory rehabilitation" AND "pulmonary rehabilitation" OR "respiratory rehabilitation" AND "respiratory function" AND "Randomized Controlled Trial" OR "RCT". Inclusion criteria were full text, randomized control trials, published from 2019 to 2021. Articles were collected by using PRISMA diagrams and quantitative synthesis was assessed by using Review Manager (RevMan) 5.3. Results: A total of 9 articles analyzed in this study came from 2 continents, namely the Asian continent (China and India) and the American continent (United States). The forest plot results in this meta-analysis showed that breathing exercises improved respiratory function in COVID-19 patients by 1.20 times compared to conventional breathing exercises and the results were statistically significant. (SMD=1.20; 95% CI=0.61 to 1.79; p<0.001). Conclusion:Breathing exercise help to improve respiratory function in COVID-19 patients.

“…In Uganda, patients-participants included lung tuberculosis (TB), HIV but not COPD [24][25][26] . Results of the studies reviewed suggest most of the patients treated are suffering from respiratory diseases like COPD in Congo, India, Philippine, Nigeria, and Tunisia 20,22,23 In Tunisia, in a study on COPD patients, the intervention group underwent balance training 3 times a week for 6 months in addition to the standard PR. The control group received 6 months of the standard PR only.…”

Background In low-income countries (LIC) and low-middle-income countries (LMIC), the burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has increased due to the lack of prevention and the presence of barriers to enter rehabilitation programs. The aim of this systematic review is to analyze the evidence on pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in LIC and LMIC. Methods A systematic literature review was conducted. Four electronic databases were searched for qualitative and quantitative studies that documented the presence of PR in LIC and LMIC. We report our findings following the Prisma guidelines. In addition, grey literature was also searched. Articles not in English, presenting a point of view and/or not treating an adult population (< 18 years old) were excluded from the review. Data were extracted by one reviewer and synthesized in the form of tables. Tables present individual characteristics of the PR reported within countries, including country of origin, study design, population attending, intervention (kind of program setting), frequency and duration of a program established (if available), with health outcomes. The PICO framework was used for every country with reported PR to assess population, intervention, comparison and outcomes found. This systematic review is registered on Prospero: CRD42020141655. Results In total, 47 publications were included in the review. In LIC, PR for HIV-infected patients was most frequently reported, while in LMIC, PR for COPD patients was most frequent. Duration and frequency of treatments reported were also different in LIC and LMIC. Health outcomes on cardiopulmonary function were established in all publications. Results found that the implementation of PR in LMIC is ongoing. The most important barriers to access are the lack of funds and know-how among professional healthcare givers. Conclusion Findings suggest that the literature on PR is scarce in LIC and LMIC. Structured or non-structured rehabilitation programs for patients suffering from COPD, HIV and Tuberculosis, are infrequently available. Strategic policy initiatives to diminish barriers and challenges are needed to implement more PR programs in LIC and LMIC.
