Abstract
La pandemia de COVID-19 ha destacado la importancia de la rehabilitación en pacientes con COVID prolongado. Objetivo: Describir los efectos de tres tratamientos en un programa de rehabilitación respiratoria en pacientes post COVID-19 en un hospital militar peruano. Materiales y métodos: Se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo y observacional. La muestra se dividió en tres grupos con diferentes tratamientos: RR+VNI+O2, Oxigenoterapia convencional y RR+CNAF+O2. Se evaluaron 348, 151 y 113 pacientes respectivamente en cada grupo. Se utilizó la Escala de Borg, mMRC, el cuestionario específico de Saint George y el genérico SF-12 para medir la percepción de falta de aire, fatiga y calidad de vida post pandemia. Resultados: Tras los tratamientos, se observó un aumento significativo en la saturación de oxígeno, disminución en la frecuencia cardíaca, disnea y fatiga percibida. Conclusión: Esto indica una mejora notable en la intensidad del cansancio y una significativa recuperación en la calidad de vida de los pacientes evaluados.
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of rehabilitation in patients with long COVID. Objective: Describe the effects of three treatments in a respiratory rehabilitation program in post-COVID-19 patients in a Peruvian military hospital. Materials and methods: A descriptive and observational study was carried out. The sample was divided into three groups with different treatments: RR+NIV+O2, conventional oxygen therapy and RR+CNAF+O2. 348, 151 and 113 patients were evaluated respectively in each group. The Borg Scale, mMRC, the specific Saint George questionnaire and the generic SF-12 were used to measure the perception of shortness of breath, fatigue and post-pandemic quality of life. Results: After the treatments, a significant increase in oxygen saturation, decrease in heart rate, dyspnea and perceived fatigue was observed. Conclusion: This indicates a notable improvement in the intensity of fatigue and a significant recovery in the quality of life of the patients evaluated.
