Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

COVID-19 is affecting the people around the world and the infected individuals' may either stay asymptomatic or present to hospitals with severe distress and life threatening symptoms. The objective of the study is to investigate role of Prone positioning and alternate nostril breathing in patients with Covid-19.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this quasi experimental study, 30 patients aged 40-80 years of either gender with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 receiving supplemental oxygen were recruited from DHQ Hospital Faisalabad. patients were grouped into two A \& B. We collected baseline data on demographics and anthropometrics. After baseline data collection, all the patients were helped into the prone position, which was maintained for a minimum duration of three hours. After that patients in group B performed alternate nostril breathing for 10 minutes with help of physiotherapist. Clinical data were re-collected on 3rd day of intervention one hour after returning to the supine position in group A and after alternate nostril breathing in group B. The main study outcome was the variation in oxygenation (partial pressure of oxygen \[PaO2\]/ fractional concentration of oxygen in inspired air \[FiO2\]) between baseline and resupination, and General psychological state through GAD-7 General anxiety disorder questionnaire.
