Summary

The aim of the current study is to compare the effect of ventilator trigger sensitivity adjustment versus threshold inspiratory muscle training on arterial blood gases in mechanically ventilated patients.

Detailed description

Failed extubations are not uncommon in most ICUs, the failure rate ranging from 2 to 20%. Since failed extubation is associated with greater hospital morbidity and mortality and longer length of stay, it is imperative to identify screening techniques that minimize the number of failed extubations. Many studies have been done on the effect of IMT by threshold IMT and adjustment of mechanical ventilator trigger separately, thereby, it is rational to compare between two methods of training to know which is more effective to help in weaning process through its effect on ABGs.
