The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of rehabilitation in patients with long COVID. Objective: Describe the effects of three treatments in a respiratory rehabilitation program in post-COVID-19 patients in a Peruvian military hospital. Materials and methods: A descriptive and observational study was carried out. The sample was divided into three groups with different treatments: RR+NIV+O2, conventional oxygen therapy and RR+CNAF+O2. 348, 151 and 113 patients were evaluated respectively in each group. The Borg Scale, mMRC, the specific Saint George questionnaire and the generic SF-12 were used to measure the perception of shortness of breath, fatigue and post-pandemic quality of life. Results: After the treatments, a significant increase in oxygen saturation, decrease in heart rate, dyspnea and perceived fatigue was observed. Conclusion: This indicates a notable improvement in the intensity of fatigue and a significant recovery in the quality of life of the patients evaluated.
