Brief Summary

Introduction: It is well established that physical fitness improves muscle performance either in sedentary people or in athletes. In this regard, specific exercises for respiratory muscles can result in better functional performance in hospitalized individuals, especially in critically ill patients in prolonged weaning. Objectives: To compare the following variables between intervention and control patients: success in weaning, free time off ventilator on ICU after weaning, and gain of muscle strength with the use of the inspiratory muscle training (IMT). Patients and methods: Prospective randomized controlled clinical trial. Only individuals on prolonged weaning will be enrolled. They will undergo IMT or will be managed in a conventional manner. The primary endpoint will be successful weaning. In addition, other variables such as free time off ventilator on ICU after weaning and muscle strength will be measured. In addition, mortality in the ICU, inside the hospital and after discharge will be followed for one year after study entrance. Expected results: According to the working hypothesis, it is expected that the performance of patients undergoing IMT will be superior to the conventional treatment. Also, their time to mortality is expected to be longer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Successful weaning

    defined by 48 hours on spontaneous ventilation after ventilator withdrawal

    one year

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Change in maximal inspiratory strength in cm H2O as measured by the digital manovacuometer MVD300 for 60 seconds

    one year

  • Change in the timed inspiratory effort index in cm H2O/sec as calculated by the ratio of the maximal inspiratory pressure and time demanded to reach it as measured by the digital manovacuometer MVD300 for 60 seconds

    one year

  • Time off the ventilator in the ICU in days.

    one year

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Mortality rate

    two years

Study Arms (2)

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Procedure: Ventilator weaning in the conventional way with a tracheal collar.

Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Procedure: Ventilator weaning with a tracheal collar after inspiratory muscle training with an isokinetic device. Device: K5 Power Breath

Device: Inspiratory muscle training

Interventions

For the inspiratory muscle training, an isokinetic device (K5 Power Breath, United Kingdom) will be attached to the artificial airway.

Intervention
