Comparison of the effect of three tripod, Semi-sitting and prone positions on vital signs and comfort pattern of patients with covid-19

Determining the effect of semi-sitting position (group A (, tripod (group B)) and lower back (group C) on vital signs and comfort pattern in patients with COVID19

In this clinical trial, 90 eligible patients will be selected and placed in three groups A, B, C. This study will be performed on three groups, one control group and two intervention groups. The study is double-blind with parallel groups, randomized. In this study, phase is not applicable. Rand function in Excel software will also be used for randomization.

This study will be performed in Amir Al-Momenin Hospital in Arak. Participants' expert and sample collector do not know how to randomize.

Inclusion criteria: Infection by coronavirus (positive PCR test), age 20 to 70 years, willingness to participate in research, lack of connection to a mechanical ventilator (no intubation), ability to communicate, no underlying respiratory disease, no pregnancy, No history of abdominal surgery during the last 6 months (for placement in the lumbar position), having lung involvement of at least 10% with shortness of breath Exclusion criteria: patient death, unwillingness to participate in further research, patient intubation during research, abdominal obesity, abdominal surgery recently

Patients admitted to corona wards to measure the effect of three semi-sitting , tripod and prone positions on vital signs and patients' comfort pattern.

Improve vital signs and comfort pattern

First, patients are selected easily and entered into the study. They will then be randomly assigned (Simple randomized block assignment) to three groups A, B and C By statistical software. Control group A in a semi-sitting position Intervention group B in tripod position Intervention group C in the prone position Rand function in Excel software will also be used for randomization.

This research is a clinical trial with three groups (two intervention groups and one control group) that the method of blinding in this study is double-blind that the main researcher and statistical analyzer have been blinded. In this way, the relevant checklists are coded according to codes B, A and C, and the sampler puts people in different positions according to randomly selected codes, and after collecting information by the sampler, this The information is entered by the data analyzer in SPSS statistical software and after extracting the obtained results, accurate analysis can be reported.
