Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Duration of Mechanical Ventilation Support

NCT01108575 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE1/PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 76

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

A growing body of knowledge has documented that the diaphragm, the primary muscle of breathing, atrophies and weakens within days of instituting mechanical ventilation support. Diaphragm weakness has been implicated as a major contributor to difficulty with weaning, or breathing without ventilator support. This study will test whether instituting a diaphragm strength training rehabilitation program will reduce the time patients require mechanical ventilation in a surgical intensive care setting.
