Objective: This study aimed to investigate whether lung mechanics were affected in patients recovering from Covid-19 without ARDS who did not undergo imaging during the active infection period. Methods: The included pregnant undergoing cesarean section operations. Participants divided into two groups: those had recovered within past year (group 1, n=50) and never been infected with 2, n=50). 100 last experienced Peak pressure (Ppeak), plateau (Pplato), dynamic compliance (Cdyn), positive end-expiratory (PEEP) values, measured by anesthesia machine, recorded at specified time intervals following intubation. Results: Comparisons of Ppeak, Pplato, ΔP, Cdyn, R data times (1 min, 5 10 20 30 40 min) showed no significant differences between groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: No found Covid-19-recovered patient group control group. Differences observed SpO2, MAP, Cdyn values both are considered be expected changes associated routine procedures general
