Análisis de la capacidad funcional cardiorrespiratoria en pacientes de 30 a 60 años post COVID-19 del Hospital Alfredo Noboa, 2021.

Abstract

Functional capacity describes the physiological capacity that supports the execution of physical tasks that demand intervention of the cardiorespiratory system. Patients post COVID 19, for this reason the present study sets the objective, to analyze the cardiorespiratory functional capacity in patients aged 30 to 60 years post COVID19. From this perspective, it aims to understand which parameters are affected in cardiorespiratory capacity and thus be able to improve the quality of life of patients through adequate and individualized rehabilitation. Methodology, a quantitative and qualitative approach was applied, as well as the 6-minute walk test that measures cardiorespiratory functional capacity, we worked with a total of 25 patients who attended the Alfredo Noboa Hospital. Results, it was evidenced with a p value 0.001 <0.05, the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative was rejected and it was concluded that there is a significant effect due to commotion on the cardiorespiratory functional capacity of patients 30 to 60 years after COVID 19, that is say at least one of the average distances traveled by patients is different. Keywords. Functional capacity, COVID 19, comorbidity.
