Filter by:Fatigue and exercise intolerance after survived COVID-19-infection might be related to weakness of the respiratory muscles. The aim of the project is to measure respiratory muscle function and strength in our respiratory physiology laboratory in patients who were not hospitalized during the acute COVID-19-infection but still complain of different persistent symptoms including exertional dyspnea and fatigue.
The investigators aim to assess the effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on diaphragmatic activity evaluated through ultrasound in patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) for acute respiratory failure (ARF) assisted via invasive mechanical ventilation in assisted mode.
