“…al., 2020). The current investigation, which was supported by Grbovic et al, 2021 in Serbia, found that the levels of oxygen saturation changed considerably before and after respiratory exercise sessions (95.77 to 98.02) (p < .001) (Grobovic et. al., 2015).…”

Coronavirus disease is a highly contagious respiratory disease that is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Approximately 80% of people infected with COVID-19 get a moderate form of the disease, which includes a respiratory tract infection with or without pneumonia. Breathing exercises and chest physiotherapy may help post-COVID-19 patients improve their respiratory function and quality of life. Physical rehabilitation is utilized as an adjuvant treatment during the acute period. However, in discharge conditions or COVID-19 patients with a mild degree of infection, breathing exercises and chest therapy may be the primary treatment options to alleviate symptoms. The goal of this study was to see how deep breathing exercises affected oxygen saturation in COVID-19 patients in Thi Qar Province, Iraq. An experimental comparative study design was done for 30 patients to assess the effect of deep breathing exercises on the oxygen saturation of patients with COVID19 in Imam Hussein Teaching Hospital / Thi Qar. The reliability of the questionnaire was achieved through a pilot study and then presented to experts to prove its validity. The total number of items was 20-items in questionnaire and measure oxygen saturation for five days before and after deep breathing exercises. The data was collected by using simple random methods and analyzed by the application of a descriptive and inferential statistical data analysis approach. The results showed for 30 patients there was significant improvement in oxygen saturation values after chest breathing exercises and deep breathing exercises from 82.3333 ± 2.78337 in first before intervention day to 93.5000 ±1.38340 in day five after chest breathing exercises and deep breathing exercises at P < 0.05. Also there were no significant statistical correlation between patient's age and their oxygen saturation after chest breathing exercises and deep breathing exercises at P ˃ 0.05. The results also showed there were no significant statistical differences between patient's gender, housing environment, and level of education, marital status and occupation with their oxygen saturation after chest breathing exercises and deep breathing exercises at P ˃ 0.05. The results accepted the alternative hypothesis there is significant difference in oxygen saturation values after chest breathing exercises and deep breathing exercises in five days for patients with COVID19. Conclude the study there was no statistically significant association between patient's socio-demographic characteristics with their oxygen saturation after chest breathing exercises and deep breathing exercises.

“…Alahmri, et al 2021 stated in the study that conducted in Saudi Arabia that showed the paired t-test was used to compare the means pre-and post-the breathing exercises with p-value >0.05 and also showed a significant difference in inspiratory lung volume and SPO2 p-value= 0.001 (Alahmri et al,2021). Kumar, et al, 2020 reported in a study done in India that attempted to determine the association between dyspnea and age, as well as SPO2 levels in COVID-19, that the dyspnea and SPO2 levels were better and statistically significant in contrast to the control group (Kumar et al,2020) The current investigation, which supported by Grbovic et al, 2021 in Serbia, found that the levels of oxygen saturation changed considerably before and after respiratory exercise sessions (95.77 to 98.02) (p < .001) ( Grbovic et al,2021). The present study showed there were no significant statistical correlation between patient's age and their oxygen saturation after chest breathing exercises and deep breathing exercises at P ˃ 0.05.…”

An experimental comparative study design was done for 30 patients to assess the impact of deep breathing exercises and chest physiotherapy on the oxygen saturation of patients with COVID19 in Imam Hussein Teaching Hospital and Al Rifai General Hospital/ Thi Qar. The reliability of the questionnaire was achieved through a pilot study and then presented to experts to prove its validity. The total number of items was 40-items in two questionnaires and measure oxygen saturation for five days before and after deep breathing exercises and chest physiotherapy. The data was collected by using simple random methods and analyzed by the application of a descriptive and inferential statistical data analysis approach.Results: The results showed for 30 patients there was significant improvement in oxygen saturation values after chest breathing exercises and deep breathing exercises from 82.3333 ± 2.78337 in first before intervention day to 93.5000 ±1.38340 in day five after chest breathing exercises and deep breathing exercises at P < 0.05.

“…The Daynes et al ( 16) study showed a statistically significant improvement in patients treated for COVID-19 infection after a six-week rehabilitation program in terms of exercise capacity, reduction of respiratory symptoms and fatigue, and improve-ment in mental functioning. Also, we showed that the respiratory exercise program significantly improved anxiety levels in COVID-19 patients (17).…”

Introduction. The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has led to significant public health problems, severe complications, and functional impairment in persons who have recovered from this disease. Case report. A 60-years-old male deconditioned patient was transferred from Corona 4 Center to the Center for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation of the University Clinical Center in Kragujevac for a post-COVID rehabilitation due to pronounced muscle weakness and inability to walk. After functional testing, an individual rehabilitation plan was created and a kinesitherapy program was adjusted daily based on the patient's respiratory status. After the kinesitherapy program, Respivol was used-a volumetric medical device for breathing exercises in patients with respiratory difficulties. At the time of admission, the patient could not move independently, could not move from the lying to the sitting position on his own, and could not maintain balance in the sitting position. Hypotrophy caused by prolonged inactivity of the muscles of the whole body dominated the clinical picture. A six-week rehabilitation treatment performed on the patient showed a significant improvement in functionality (FIM test), muscle strength (manual muscle test), daily life activity (Barthel index), as well as a reduction of anxiety (GAD-7 scale). Conclusion. The goal of the rehabilitation program is to restore the patient's state of functionality before the initiation of COVID-19 treatment, so that they can perform their regular professional activities and achieve complete independence in performing activities of daily living (ADL).
