We must be aware that new respiratory virus pandemic can happen frequently. Standard lung function tests should keep their crucial role to assist the clinicians in the decision-making process, but they are at risk for the spread of infection because of the generated droplets. We used opto-electronic plethysmography to investigate the post-COVID-19 syndrome on 12 patients after ICU. We found normal ventilatory pattern at rest, a restrictive pattern located in the ribcage during vital capacity and surgical mask to significantly increase minute ventilation. The attention on unconventional respiratory function tests should be sponsored for the important information they can provide.

我们必须意识到，新的呼吸道病毒大流行可能会频繁发生。标准的肺功能测试应该保持其在辅助临床医生决策过程中的关键作用，但由于产生的飞沫，它们有传播感染的风险。我们使用光电体积描记术调查了 12 名 ICU 患者的 COVID-19 后综合征。我们在休息时发现了正常的通气模式，在肺活量和外科面罩期间位于胸腔的限制性模式显着增加了分钟通气量。应关注非常规呼吸功能测试，因为它们可以提供重要信息。
