Recovery of Respiratory System in COVID-19 Patients

Overview

About this study

This study aims to determine the effect of lingering COVID-19 symptoms on alveolar-capillary membrane conductance, pulmonary blood flow, exhaled nitric oxide, maximal respiratory pressures, lung clearance index and pulmonary function (flow rates, lung volumes, resistance, and reactance) and to examine the relationships between the respiratory physiology and exercise gas exchange between subjects with and without ongoing COVID-19 symptoms.
