Summary

Malnutrition affects 50% of hospitalized patients around the world and causes changes in respiratory muscles predisposing the development of pulmonary complications probable, because of the ineffectiveness of cough. How the training of respiratory muscles can improve the effectiveness of cough, malnourished patients could benefit from this train however, the training of the muscles in malnourished patients has not been tested for safety or efficiency. So, the aim of this study is to assess the safety and efficiency of respiratory muscle training to improve the potency of cough in malnourished patients.

OTHER

Inspiratory muscle training

Patient performs training for 30 minutes per day, during 7 consecutive days, using a Threshold for Inspiratory Muscle Training with a load of 30% of maximal inspiratory pressure assessed by digital peak respiratory pressure monitor

OTHER

Sham group

Patient performs training for 30 minutes per day, during 7 consecutive days, using a Threshold without load
