Respiratory Muscle Training in ICU Patients

Inspiratory and Expiratory Muscle Training in Critically Ill Patients Weaned From Mechanical Ventilation

Summary

Respiratory muscle weakness is common after mechanical ventilation and occurs early. This can limit functional recovery. Respiratory muscle training is often neglected in clinical practice. Some data indicates that inspiratory muscle training increases inspiratory muscle strength and quality of life. The aim of the study is to assess the impact of combined inspiratory and expiratory muscle training on inspiratory muscle strength. The second aim is to assess the impact of this training program on expiratory muscle strength.
