Preoperative Inspiratory Muscle Training

Summary

In light of the corona virus pandemic (COVID-19), there is critical need to conserve scarce mechanical ventilation (MV) resources. This study evaluates an intervention in non-infected cardiac patients as a means to assist with minimizing MV and ICU length of stay (LOS). Pre-op inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been shown to decrease pulmonary complications, MV dependence, and ICU LOS following thoracic surgery. The investigators aim to determine the mechanism of remodeling in diaphragms of adults who undergo pre-op IMT.
