Correlations Between Oxygen Consumption, Ventilatory Mechanics, and Lung Ultrasound in Individuals with Post-COVID Syndrome
Patients with PCS undergoing CPX demonstrated impaired functional capacity. In these individuals, higher age and BMI were associated with lower VO<sub>2</sub>peak. Furthermore, alterations in LUS and IOS may also be linked to reduced VO<sub>2</sub>peak. These findings are promising, as they were obtained using a low-cost device. Further studies are needed to investigate the factors that influence oxygen consumption in PCS.
