Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the effect of chest expansion exercises on arterial blood oxygen saturation in hospitalized patients with covid-19
Design
Clinical trial with control group,with parallel groups,single blind,randomized
Settings and conduct
Patients admitted to Boali zahedan Hospital will be randomly divided into two groups.One group will be treated with routine exercises and one group will be treated with chest expansion exercises in addition to routine exercises.Variables will be measured before treatment.After the variables were measured,the treatment will be done for both groups during 7 days (7 times a week) and 3 sessions(morning-noon-night) and each exercises will be done 10 times.The results will be recorded once before the start of the exercises,once in the fourth session and once after the end of the 7th session,i.e. in the eighth session.Single blind method.The result recording technician is not aware of the intervention.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Entry conditions:Patients with a definite diagnosis of covid-19,Blood oxygen saturation level 75-90%,Age 25-55 years,Pulmonary involvement with corona pattern,Patients who have at least two lobes of the lungs affected by the coronavirus,Patients under oxygen therapy,Patients treated with remdesivir and dexamethasone,Patients admitted to BoAli Hospital,Patients for whom the infectious disease doctor has asked for respiratory physiotherapy consultation Non-entry conditions:Patients hospitalized in Icu who need intubation,Severely ill patients who are repentant,Pregnancy,Patients with a history of cardiac arrhythmias and other respiratory diseases that have lung involvement.
Intervention groups
control group:Routine exercises(diaphragmatic breathing-pursed-Lip breathing) Intervention group:chest expansion exercises
Main outcome variables

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
The non-probability sampling method is easy (available) The random allocation of patients to two groups is done by the permutation block stratified randomization method.In such a way that first the eligible referring patients are classified according to age and gender in the order of entry.Then based on blocks of 4(consisting of two groups A and B and two repetitions for each) which are randomly selected from all the possible states of permutations are selected and assigned to the desired group.These blocks were created using statistical software R version 4.0.2 .
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
In the research , a one_way blind method is used so that the technician recording the results will not be aware of the desired intervention
Placebo
