Brief Summary

the specific effect of IMT on expiratory muscle strength and abdominal wall thickness during weaning remains unclear. To address this significant research gap, the primary objective of our study was to evaluate the effect of IMT after extubation on expiratory muscle strength and abdominal muscle thickness in respiratory ICU patients. On the other hand the investigators established reference values for ultrasonographic measurements in healthy control subjects as a comparative arm. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the ultrasonographic effects of IMT on the expiratory muscle thickness after extubation. The investigators believe that our study may contribute to related literature in this context and guide future research as a pioneer with its unique value.

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Abdominal Muscle Thickness

    Eksternal Oblique, Internal Oblique, Transverses Abdominus and rectus abdominus Ultrasonografic mesasurements

Study Arms (3)

Experimental

EXPERIMENTAL

Experimental: Conventional Physiotherapy In the intensive care unit and who had mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours and who were extubated. In this group addition to conventional physiotherapy inspiratory muscle training will be performed with the threshold-loaded inspiratory muscle training device, starting at 30% of the maximum inspiratory mouth pressure value, during 5 days, in 2 sessions, 4 sets per day, 6-8 breaths in each set and 2 minutes of rest between sets.

Other: conventional physiotherapy+ IMT

Conventional

EXPERIMENTAL

In this group will apply only conventional physiotherapy. Conventional physiotherapy to contain breathing and,thoracal expansion exercises, bronchial hygiene techniques and gradual mobilization. Conventional physiotherapy apply for 5 days after extubation period 1 time a day.

Other: conventional physiotherapy

Healthy controls

NO INTERVENTION

There is no intervention in this group. Baseline measurements are to compare with experimental groups.
