Effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation combined with threshold inspiratory muscle training on respiratory function in neurocritical patients with weaning failure: a randomized controlled trial. Int J Rehabil Res 2024; 47:164-168. [PMID: 38635479 PMCID: PMC11288388 DOI: 10.1097/mrr.0000000000000627] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/31/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of combining proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) with threshold inspiratory muscle training (TIMT), compared with TIMT alone, on respiratory function in neurocritical patients who experienced a weaning failure. Forty-seven participants (mostly after a stroke), were randomly divided into the experimental group ( n = 24) and the control group ( n = 23). The control group received usual care and TIMT, whereas the experimental group, in addition, underwent four 90-s periods of manual PNF. Both groups performed training in the ICU twice a day for 5 consecutive days. The main outcome measures included maximum inspiratory pressure, diaphragmatic excursions, diaphragm thickening fraction, oxygenation index, and forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity. The results showed a significant group-by-time interaction effect for maximum inspiratory pressure [ F (1, 45) = 17.84, η2 = 0.328, P < 0.001] and oxygenation index [ F [1, 45) = 5.58, η2 = 0.11, P = 0.023]. When compared with the control group, the experimental group showed overall significantly higher maximum inspiratory pressure [mean difference = 4.37 cm H 2 O, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.25-8.50, P = 0.038]. No other significant group differences were found. Combining PNF with TIMT may improve respiratory function in neurocritical patients with weaning failure. This combination approach may increase the likelihood of survival of neurocritical patients in the ICU.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical ventilation is a core intervention in critical care, but may also lead to negative consequences. Therefore, ventilator weaning is crucial for patient recovery. Numerous weaning interventions have been investigated, but an overview of interventions to evaluate different foci on weaning research is still missing. AIM To provide an overview of interventions associated with ventilator weaning. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a scoping review. A systematic search of the Medline, CINAHL and Cochrane Library databases was carried out in May 2023. Interventions from studies or reviews that aimed to extubate or decannulate mechanically ventilated patients in intensive care units were included. Studies concerning children, outpatients or non-invasive ventilation were excluded. Screening and data extraction were conducted independently by three reviewers. Identified interventions were thematically analysed and clustered. RESULTS Of the 7175 records identified, 193 studies were included. A total of six clusters were formed: entitled enteral nutrition (three studies), tracheostomy (17 studies), physical treatment (13 studies), ventilation modes and settings (47 studies), intervention bundles (42 studies), and pharmacological interventions including analgesic agents (8 studies), sedative agents (53 studies) and other agents (15 studies). CONCLUSIONS Ventilator weaning is widely researched with a special focus on ventilation modes and pharmacological agents. Some aspects remain poorly researched or unaddressed (e.g. nutrition, delirium treatment, sleep promotion). RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE This review compiles studies on ventilator weaning interventions in thematic clusters, highlighting the need for multidisciplinary care and consideration of various interventions. Future research should combine different interventions and investigate their interconnection.

Impacts of three inspiratory muscle training programs on inspiratory muscles strength and endurance among intubated and mechanically ventilated patients with difficult weaning: a multicentre randomised controlled trial. J Intensive Care 2024; 12:28. [PMID: 39049092 PMCID: PMC11271199 DOI: 10.1186/s40560-024-00741-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is well-established as a safe option for combating inspiratory muscles weakness in the intensive care setting. It could improve inspiratory muscle strength and decrease weaning duration but a lack of knowledge on the optimal training regimen raise to inconsistent results. We made the hypothesis that an innovative mixed intensity program for both endurance and strength improvement could be more effective. We conducted a multicentre randomised controlled parallel trial comparing the impacts of three IMT protocols (low, high, and mixed intensity) on inspiratory muscle strength and endurance among difficult-to-wean patients. METHODS Ninety-two patients were randomly assigned to three groups with different training programs, where each performed an IMT program twice daily, 7 days per week, from inclusion until successful extubation or 30 days. The primary outcome was maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) increase. Secondary outcomes included peak pressure (Ppk) increase as an endurance marker, mechanical ventilation (MV) duration, ICU length of stay, weaning success defined by a 2-day ventilator-free after extubation, reintubation rate and safety. RESULTS MIP increases were 10.8 ± 11.9 cmH2O, 4.5 ± 14.8 cmH2O, and 6.7 ± 14.5 cmH2O for the mixed intensity (MI), low intensity (LI), and high intensity (HI) groups, respectively. There was a non-statistically difference between the MI and LI groups (mean adjusted difference: 6.59, 97.5% CI [- 14.36; 1.18], p = 0.056); there was no difference between the MI and HI groups (mean adjusted difference: - 3.52, 97.5% CI [- 11.57; 4.53], p = 0.321). No significant differences in Ppk increase were observed among the three groups. Weaning success rate observed in MI, HI and LI group were 83.7% [95% CI 69.3; 93.2], 82.6% [95% CI 61.2; 95.0] and 73.9% [95% CI 51.6; 89.8], respectively. MV duration, ICU length of stay and reintubation rate had similar values. Over 629 IMT sessions, six adverse events including four spontaneously reversible bradycardia in LI group were possibly related to the study. CONCLUSIONS Among difficult-to-wean patients receiving invasive MV, no statistically difference was observed in strength and endurance progression across three different IMT programs. IMT appears to be feasible in usual cares, but some serious adverse events such as bradycardia could motivate further research on the specific impact on cardiac system. Trial registration Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT02855619. Registered 28 September 2014.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical Ventilation (MV) is an essential life support machine, frequently utilized in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Recently, a growing number of clinical trials have investigated the effect of acupuncture treatment on MV outcomes. OBJECTIVES This study investigated the safety and efficacy of acupuncture treatment for critically ill patients under MV. METHODS In this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, the efficacy of acupuncture related interventions was compared to routine ICU treatments, and sham/control acupuncture as control interventions applied to ICU patients undergoing MV. The databases of PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were extensively searched in the month of April 2022. The primary outcome measurements were defined as total MV time, ICU length of stay, and mortality. The Cochrane Collaboration risk of bias tool was employed to analyze the severity of bias. The meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.3 software. The quality of evidence was evaluated according to the GRADE approach. RESULTS A total of 10 clinical trials were included in this investigation. When comparing the performance of acupuncture-related interventions to that of the reported control interventions, the results of the meta-analysis revealed a significant reduction in the total number of MV days as well as the duration of ICU length of stay following acupuncture treatment (MD -2.06 [-3.33, -0.79] P = 0.001, I2 = 55 %, MD-1.26 [-2.00, -0.53] P = 0.0008, I2 = 77 %, respectively). A reduction in the total mortality was similarly observed (RR = 0.67 [0.47, 0.94] P = 0.02, I2 = 0 %). CONCLUSION This systematic review and meta-analysis identified a noteworthy reduction in the total MV days, time spent in the ICU, as well as the total mortality following acupuncture related interventions. However, the small sample size, risk of bias and existing heterogeneity should be taken into consideration. The results of this study are promising and further investigations in this field are warranted.

Low-Medium and High-Intensity Inspiratory Muscle Training in Critically Ill Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2024; 60:869. [PMID: 38929486 PMCID: PMC11205434 DOI: 10.3390/medicina60060869] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
Background and objectives: Mechanical ventilation is often used in intensive care units to assist patients' breathing. This often leads to respiratory muscle weakness and diaphragmatic dysfunction, causing weaning difficulties. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been found to be beneficial in increasing inspiratory muscle strength and facilitating weaning. Over the years, different protocols and devices have been used. Materials and Methods: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the effectiveness of low-medium (LM-IMT) and high-intensity (H-IMT) threshold inspiratory muscle training in critically ill patients. A systematic literature search was performed for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in the electronic databases Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct. The search involved screening for studies examining the effectiveness of two different intensities of threshold IMT in critically ill patients published the last 10 years. The Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale was chosen as the tool to assess the quality of studies. A meta-analysis was performed where possible. Results: Fourteen studies were included in the systematic review, with five of them having high methodological quality. Conclusions: When examining LM-IMT and H-IMT though, neither was able to reach statistically significant improvement in their maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), while LM-IMT reached it in terms of weaning duration. Additionally, no statistical difference was noticed in the duration of mechanical ventilation. The application of IMT is recommended to ICU patients in order to prevent diaphragmatic dysfunction and facilitate weaning from mechanical ventilation. Therefore, further research as well as additional RCTs regarding different protocols are needed to enhance its effectiveness.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effects of inspiratory strength training on respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, and walking capacity in children with cerebral palsy, with Gross Motor Function Classification System I to III. METHODS Searches were conducted in CINAHL, LILACS, MEDLINE, and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) databases. The outcomes of interest were respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, and walking capacity. The quality was assessed by PEDro Scale. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation system was used to summarize the quality of evidence. RESULTS Inspiratory strength training increased the strength of inspiratory muscles and may increase the strength of the expiratory muscles. No changes were observed in pulmonary function or walking capacity. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review provides moderate-quality evidence that inspiratory strength training is effective for increasing inspiratory muscle strength in children with cerebral palsy. Benefits may be carried over to improving expiratory muscle strength but were not observed on pulmonary function or walking capacity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Haemodialysis is the most common treatment option for patients with life-sustaining end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). In recent years, haemodiafiltration or haemofiltration has been widely used in patients with ESKD, and there are still conflicting findings as to whether both are superior to traditional haemodialysis. This systematic review and meta-analysis were designed to determine whether haemodiafiltration or haemofiltration is more effective than haemodialysis in reducing all-cause mortality risk in patients with ESKD. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We will perform a systematic PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) in The Cochrane Library and Scopus search, including studies published before September 2023. Randomised controlled trials will be included exploring the effects of haemodiafiltration or haemofiltration compared with haemodialysis on prognosis in patients with ESKD. Outcomes of interest include all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events, dialysis adequacy and adverse effects. The Cochrane Collaboration tools (ROB-2) will assess the bias risk. Available data will be used to calculate effect sizes. Heterogeneity between studies will be evaluated with I2. The trial sequential analysis will be used to eliminate false-positive results. The certainty of the evidence will be assessed using Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation criteria. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This systematic review and meta-analysis was deemed exempt from ethics review. Results will be disseminated through publication in peer-reviewed journals and research conferences. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42023464509.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is one possible strategy to ameliorate respiratory muscle weakness due to invasive mechanical ventilation. Recent systematic reviews have focused on respiratory outcomes with minimal attention to physical function. The newest systematic review searched the literature until September 2017 and a recent preliminary search identified 5 new randomized controlled trials focusing on IMT in critical care. As such, a new systematic review is warranted to summarize the current body of evidence and to investigate the effect of IMT on physical function in critical care. MATERIALS AND METHODS We will search for three main concepts ("critical illness", "inspiratory muscle training", "RCT") across six databases from their inception (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Emcare, AMED, CINAHL, CENTRAL) and ClinicalTrials.gov. Two reviewers will independently screen titles, abstracts, and full texts for eligibility using the Covidence web-based software. Eligible studies must include: (1) adult (≥18 years) patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) who required invasive mechanical ventilation for ≥24 hours, (2) an IMT intervention using a threshold device with the goal of improving inspiratory muscle strength, with or without usual care, and (3) randomized controlled trial design. The primary outcome of interest will be physical function. We will use the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tools (ROB2) and will assess the quality of the evidence using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) tool. This protocol has been reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA- P) guidelines and is registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO). CONCLUSION Results will summarize the body of evidence of the effect of IMT on physical function in critically ill patients. We will submit our findings to a peer-reviewed journal and share our results at conferences.

Abstract
Background A patient with severe COVID-19 pneumonia had adjunctive acupuncture to improve respiration and facilitate weaning off prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV). Case A man in his 40s with COVID-19 was in an advanced critical-care center on symptom day 5 for respiratory failure due to pneumonia requiring MV therapy. He received high-dose corticosteroid pulse therapy, antiviral agents, and multiple antibiotics for complicated bacterial pneumonia and bacteremia. Repeated MV weaning attempts failed, although his pneumonia gradually improved. Then, acupuncture 4 times per week was started to improve his respiration and facilitate MV weaning from day 49 of his symptoms' onset. Results His weaning-related indices improved, including reductions in respiratory rate and Rapid Shallow Breath Index. His O2 saturation increased immediately after each acupuncture treatment. The day after the first acupuncture treatment, his MV support was reduced by changing ventilation mode from synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation mode to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) mode during the day without exacerbation of respiratory status. After 3 days of acupuncture, this patient was on CPAP support alone. MV therapy was discontinued completely after 8 days of acupuncture (6th acupuncture treatment). Conclusions Acupuncture improved respiration and facilitated MV weaning in a patient with respiratory failure secondary to COVID-19. Adjunctive acupuncture may benefit such patients and others after severe pneumonia. Large cohort studies are needed.

[PMID: 38033650 PMCID: PMC10685379 DOI: 10.1016/j.imr.2023.100997] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2023] [Revised: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Background In intensive care units, mechanical ventilation is an important therapy to help patients with dyspnea. However, long-term ventilator dependence would consume huge medical resources and increase the risk of morbidity and mortality. The aim of the study was to examine the efficacy of the acupuncture combined with western medical care on ventilator parameters in ventilator-dependent patients. Methods In this clinical trial, 80 ventilator-dependent patients aged 20 to 80 years old were randomly assigned to acupuncture group and control group in the respiratory care center (RCC) of Changhua Christian Hospital. Besides regular medical care and therapy, participants in the acupuncture group received acupuncture therapy at the same 17 acu-points for 20 minutes once a day, a total of 12 sessions. The ventilator parameters were recorded to evaluate the respiratory efficiency for all participants. The primary outcome was rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI), and secondary outcomes were respiratory rate (RR), tidal volume (TV) and ventilation per minute (MV). Results Though there was no significant difference in the parameter between the acupuncture group and the control group, we found the trend of decreasing RSBI in the acupuncture group. In subgroup analyses, the mean of RSBI significantly decreased 16.02 (with the SD in 60.84) in acupuncture group, while it increased 17.84 (with the SD in 39.38) in control group (p=0.036) after 12 sessions. Conclusion Acupuncture treatment can improve breathing ability of patients with respirator dependence in respiratory care center.

Abstract
Esophageal carcinoma is a multifaceted and complex disease of rapidly rising incidence that exerts an increasing social and financial burden on global healthcare systems. Esophagectomy is associated with high rates of peri- and post-operative morbidity and mortality because of complex anatomy, frail health of patients, and late diagnosis of the disease. The most common complication seen is post-operative pulmonary complication (PPC). This study was planned to compare and analyze the outcome of two different protocols of preoperative IMT program on the rate of PPCs in patients undergoing esophagectomy. Twenty patients who underwent esophagectomy for carcinoma esophagus were included in the study and were randomly divided into 2 groups of 10 each. Group A received IMT-HI training for 4 weeks, whereas the group B received IMT-E training for 4 weeks pre-operatively. All the patients included in the study underwent a baseline pulmonary assessment which included pulmonary function test (FVC, FEV1, and FEV1/FVC), maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP), and maximum expiratory pressure (MEP). Four-week preoperative IMT-HI lead to better outcome following esophagectomy as compared to IMT-E. Relative risk of PPC was 4:1 (IMT-E:IMT-HI). However, there was no statistically significant improvement in PFTs, MEP, and MIP from baseline or between two groups. The difference in PPC in two groups did not reach statistical significance despite the fact that relative risk of PPC was 4:1 (IMT-E:IMT-HI).

Abstract
Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been used in different sports, although there is no consensus on its benefits. We investigated the effects of eight weeks of IMT in women's handball. Twenty-four players were randomly distributed into experimental (EXP; n = 13) and control (CON; n = 11) groups. Only the EXP group performed IMT using the POWERBreathe device, following indications of the manufacturers. Before and after the intervention, spirometric variables were evaluated at rest and during a graded test using direct analysis of respiratory gases. Perception of exertion at submaximal intensity was also determined. No significant differences were observed post- vs. pre-intervention (p ≥ 0.05) regarding forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the 1st second (VEF1), FVC/VEF1, maximal expiratory flow at 50% of FVC or peak inspiratory flow. Post-intervention, only the CON group increased their absolute and relative VO2max (2.1 ± 0.2 L/min pre vs. 2.2 ± 0.3 L/min post; 33.6 ± 3.6 ml/kg∙min pre vs. 34.5 ± 3.2 ml/kg∙min post, respectively). No significant improvements (p ≥ 0.05) were observed in VO2 associated with ventilatory threshold 1 (VT1), nor in the intensity associated with VO2max and VT1. However, there was a tendency for the mentioned variables to decrease in the CON group, while in the EXP group the trend was to maintain or increase previous values. IMT did not determine an improvement in the perception of exertion at submaximal intensity. The use of POWERBreathe, as described in the present study, is feasible in terms of time and effort, although its benefits may not be significant.

Abstract
The possible benefits of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on mechanical and clinical outcomes in patients with Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) remain controversial. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of IMT in the rehabilitation strategy of patients with COVID-19. The Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science (WOS), and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) were searched to identify trials evaluating the efficacy of IMT in the treatment of patients with COVID-19. The primary outcome included change from baseline of VO2 max, maximal inspiratory pressure (PImax), 6-min walk test(6MWT), forced expiratory volume in the first second predicted (FEV1%pred), and quality of life (QOL). Six studies with 349 participants were analyzed. Significant improvements were found in change from baseline of VO2 max (MD: 4.54, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.79-7.30, Z = 3. 32, I2 = 0, p = 0.001), PImax (MD: 21.43, 95% CI: 1.33-41.52, Z = 2.09, I2 = 90%, p = 0.04), 6MWD (MD: 40.13, 95% CI: 24.92-55.35, Z = 5.17, I2 = 0, p < 0.00001) and FEV1%pred (MD: 8.73, 95% CI 3.07-14.39, Z = 3.02, p = 0.002) while no statistical improvements were found in QOL (SMD: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.37-1.03, Z = 4.15, I2 = 89% p = 0.32) between IMT group and control group. The application of IMT might elicit mechanical and clinical improvement in patients with COVID-19. IMT could be recommended as an effective strategy of pulmonary rehabilitation for COVID-19. However, the proper timing, optimal duration, as well as appropriate frequency and intensity of IMT remain uncertain and further studies are needed.

Abstract
Background Pulmonary complications occur in a substantial proportion of patients who undergo coronary artery bypass grafting. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT), a simple, well-tolerated physical therapy, has been proposed to reduce the risk of complications, but its efficacy remains controversial. Method Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining the influence of IMT on the risk of pulmonary complications after coronary artery bypass grafting were identified from PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL, CINAL, and Web of Science through March 2023. Data were meta-analyzed for the primary outcomes of pulmonary complications, defined as pneumonia, pleural effusion, and atelectasis; and in terms of the secondary outcomes of maximum inspiratory pressure, maximum expiratory pressure, length of hospitalization, 6 min walk test, and peak expiratory flow and other outcomes. Risk of bias and quality of evidence assessments were carried out using the RoB 2.0 and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) applied to primary outcomes of pulmonary complications. Results Data from eight RCTs involving 755 patients were meta-analyzed. IMT was associated with a significantly lower risk of postoperative pneumonia [relative risk (RR) 0.39, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.25-0.62, P < 0.0001] and atelectasis (RR 0.43, 95% CI 0.27-0.67, P = 0.0002), but not pleural effusion (RR 1.09, 95% CI 0.62-1.93, P = 0.76). IMT was associated with significantly better maximum inspiratory pressure (preoperative: mean difference (MD) 16.55 cmH2O, 95% CI 13.86-19.24, P < 0.00001; postoperative: mean difference (MD) 8.99 cmH2O, 95% CI 2.39-15.60, P = 0.008) and maximum expiratory pressure (MD 7.15 cmH2O, 95% CI: 1.52-12.79, P = 0.01), and with significantly shorter hospitalization (MD -1.71 days, 95% CI -2.56 to -0.87, P < 0.001). IMT did not significantly affect peak expiratory flow or distance traveled during the 6 min walk test. Conclusions The available evidence from medium and high quality trials suggests that IMT can significantly decrease the risk of pneumonia and atelectasis after coronary artery bypass grafting while shortening hospitalization and improving the strength of respiratory muscles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diaphragmatic dysfunction is well documented in patients receiving mechanical ventilation. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been used to facilitate weaning by strengthening the inspiratory muscles, yet the optimal approach remains uncertain. Whilst some data on the metabolic response to whole body exercise in critical care exist, the metabolic response to IMT in critical care is yet to be investigated. This study aimed to quantify the metabolic response to IMT in critical care and its relationship to physiological variables. METHODS We conducted a prospective observational study on mechanically ventilated patients ventilated for ≥ 72 h and able to participate in IMT in a medical, surgical, and cardiothoracic intensive care unit. 76 measurements were taken on 26 patients performing IMT using an inspiratory threshold loading device at 4 cmH2O, and at 30, 50 and 80% of their negative inspiratory force (NIF). Oxygen consumption (VO2) was measured continuously using indirect calorimetry. RESULTS First session mean (SD) VO2 was 276 (86) ml/min at baseline, significantly increasing to 321 (93) ml/min, 333 (92) ml/min, 351(101) ml/min and 388 (98) ml/min after IMT at 4 cmH2O and 30, 50 and 80% NIF, respectively (p = 0.003). Post hoc comparisons revealed significant differences in VO2 between baseline and 50% NIF and baseline and 80% NIF (p = 0.048 and p = 0.001, respectively). VO2 increased by 9.3 ml/min for every 1 cmH2O increase in inspiratory load from IMT. Every increase in P/F ratio of 1 decreased the intercept VO2 by 0.41 ml/min (CI - 0.58 to - 0.24 p < 0.001). NIF had a significant effect on the intercept and slope, with every 1 cmH2O increase in NIF increasing intercept VO2 by 3.28 ml/min (CI 1.98-4.59 p < 0.001) and decreasing the dose-response slope by 0.15 ml/min/cmH2O (CI - 0.24 to - 0.05 p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS IMT causes a significant load-dependent increase in VO2. P/F ratio and NIF impact baseline VO2. The dose-response relationship of the applied respiratory load during IMT is modulated by respiratory strength. These data may offer a novel approach to prescription of IMT. TAKE HOME MESSAGE The optimal approach to IMT in ICU is uncertain; we measured VO2 at different applied respiratory loads to assess whether VO2 increased proportionally with load and found VO2 increased by 9.3 ml/min for every 1 cmH2O increase in inspiratory load from IMT. Baseline NIF has a significant effect on the intercept and slope, participants with a higher baseline NIF have a higher resting VO2 but a less pronounced increase in VO2 as the inspiratory load increases; this may offer a novel approach to IMT prescription.

Abstract
Weaning is a critical stage of an intensive care unit (ICU) stay, in which the respiratory muscles play a major role. Weakness of the respiratory muscles, which is associated with significant morbidity in the ICU, is not limited to atrophy and subsequent dysfunction of the diaphragm; the extradiaphragmatic inspiratory and expiratory muscles also play important parts. In addition to the well-established deleterious effect of mechanical ventilation on the respiratory muscles, other risk factors such as sepsis may be involved. Weakness of the respiratory muscles can be suspected visually in a patient with paradoxical movement of the abdominal compartment. Measurement of maximal inspiratory pressure is the simplest way to assess respiratory muscle function, but it does not specifically take the diaphragm into account. A cut-off value of -30 cmH2O could identify patients at risk for prolonged ventilatory weaning; however, ultrasound may be better for assessing respiratory muscle function in the ICU. Although diaphragm dysfunction has been associated with weaning failure, this diagnosis should not discourage clinicians from performing spontaneous breathing trials and considering extubation. Recent therapeutic developments aimed at preserving or restoring respiratory muscle function are promising.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of threshold inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on the duration of weaning in intensive care unit (ICU)-admitted patients. Materials and Methods This randomized clinical trial enrolled 79 ICU-admitted, mechanically ventilated patients in 2020-2021 in Imam Reza Hospital, Mashhad. Patients were randomly divided into intervention (n = 40) and control (n = 39) groups. The intervention group received threshold IMT and conventional chest physiotherapy, while the control group only received conventional chest physiotherapy once a day. Before and after the end of the intervention, the strength of inspiratory muscles and the duration of weaning were measured in both the groups. Results The duration of weaning was shorter in the intervention group (8.4 ± 1.1 days) versus the control group (11.2 ± 0.6 days) (P < 0.001). The rapid shallow breathing index decreased by 46.5% in the intervention group and by 27.3% in the control group after the intervention (both P < 0.001), and the between-group comparison showed a significantly higher reduction in the intervention group than control group (P < 0.001). The patients' compliance after the intervention compared to the 1st day increased to 16.2 ± 6.6 in the intervention group and 9.6 ± 6.8 in the control group (both P < 0.001), and the between-group comparison showed a significantly higher increase in the intervention group than control group. The maximum inspiratory pressure increased by 13.7 ± 6.1 in the intervention group and by 9.1 ± 6.0 in the control group (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the weaning success was 54% more probable in the intervention group than control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The results of this study showed the positive effect of IMT with threshold IMT trainer on increased strength of respiratory muscles and reduced weaning duration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical ventilation affects the respiratory muscles, but little is known about long-term recovery of respiratory muscle weakness (RMW) and potential associations with physical functioning in survivors of critical illness. The aim of this study was to investigate the course of recovery of RMW and its association with functional outcomes in patients who received mechanical ventilation. METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study with 6-month follow-up among survivors of critical illness who received ≥ 48 hours of invasive mechanical ventilation. Primary outcomes, measured at 3 timepoints, were maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures (MIP/MEP). Secondary outcomes were functional exercise capacity (FEC) and handgrip strength (HGS). Longitudinal changes in outcomes and potential associations between MIP/MEP, predictor variables, and secondary outcomes were investigated through linear mixed model analysis. RESULTS A total of 59 participants (male: 64%, median age [IQR]: 62 [53-66]) were included in this study with a median (IQR) ICU and hospital length of stay of 11 (8-21) and 35 (21-52) days respectively. While all measures were well below predicted values at hospital discharge (MIP: 68.4%, MEP 76.0%, HGS 73.3% of predicted and FEC 54.8 steps/2m), significant 6-month recovery was seen for all outcomes. Multivariate analyses showed longitudinal associations between older age and decreased MIP and FEC, and longer hospital length of stay and decreased MIP and HGS outcomes. In crude models, significant, longitudinal associations were found between MIP/MEP and FEC and HGS outcomes. While these associations remained in most adjusted models, an interaction effect was observed for sex. CONCLUSION RMW was observed directly after hospital discharge while 6-month recovery to predicted values was noted for all outcomes. Longitudinal associations were found between MIP and MEP and more commonly used measures for physical functioning, highlighting the need for continued assessment of respiratory muscle strength in deconditioned patients who are discharged from ICU. The potential of targeted training extending beyond ICU and hospital discharge should be further explored.

Reis N, Gaspar L, Paiva A, Sousa P, Machado N. Effectiveness of Nonpharmacological Interventions in the Field of Ventilation: An Umbrella Review. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:5239. [PMID: 37047855 PMCID: PMC10093871 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20075239] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Revised: 03/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
UNLABELLED This umbrella review aimed to determine the effectiveness of nonpharmacological interventions in pulmonary ventilation and their impact on respiratory function. An individual with impaired ventilation displays visible variations manifested in their respiratory frequency, breathing rhythm ratio (I:E), thoracic symmetry, use of accessory muscles, dyspnea (feeling short of breath), oxygen saturation, diaphragm mobility, minute ventilation, peak flow, walking test, spirometry, Pimax/Pemax, diffusion, and respiratory muscle strength. Any variation in these markers demands the need for interventions in order to duly manage the signs and symptoms and to improve ventilation. METHOD Systematic reviews of the literature published in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese were used, which included studies in which nonpharmacological interventions were used as a response to impaired ventilation in adults in any given context of the clinical practice. The recommendations given by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) for umbrella reviews were followed. This research took place in several databases such as MEDLINE, CINAHL Complete, CINHAL, MedicLatina, ERIC, Cochrane Reviews (Embase), and PubMed. The Joanna Briggs critical analysis verification list was used for the systematic review. The data extraction was performed independently by two investigators based on the data extraction tools of the Joanna Briggs Institute, and the data were presented in a summary table alongside the support text. RESULTS Forty-four systematic reviews, thirty randomized clinical essays, and fourteen observational studies were included in this review. The number of participants varied between n = 103 and n = 13,370. Fifteen systematic revisions evaluated the effect of isolated respiratory muscular training; six systematic revisions evaluated, in isolation, breathing control (relaxed breathing, pursed-lip breathing, and diaphragmatic breathing exercises) and thoracic expansion exercises; and one systematic review evaluated, in isolation, the positions that optimize ventilation. Nineteen systematic reviews with combined interventions that reinforced the role of education and capacitation while also aiming for their success were considered. The articles analyzed isolated interventions and presented their efficacy. The interventions based on respiratory exercises and respiratory muscular training were the most common, and one article mentioned the efficacy of positioning in the compromisation of ventilation. Combined interventions in which the educational component was included were found to be effective in improving pulmonary function, diffusion, oxygenation, and functional capacity. The outcomes used in each study were variable, leading to a more difficult analysis of the data. CONCLUSIONS The interventions that were the focus of the review were duly mapped. The results suggest that nonpharmacological interventions used to optimize ventilation are effective, with a moderate to high level of evidence. There is a strong foundation for the use of the chosen interventions. The lack of studies on the intervention of "positioning to optimize ventilation" points out the need for a deeper analysis of its effects and for studies with a clear focus. This study supports the decisions and recommendations for the prescription of these interventions to patients with impaired ventilation.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the effects of respiratory rehabilitation training combined with limb rehabilitation on sputum clearance and quality of life in patients with bronchiectasis. Methods A retrospective analysis of 86 patients with bronchiectasis was divided into an intervention group and an observation group, with 43 cases in each group. All patients were above 18 years of age with no history of relevant drug allergies. Patients in the observation group were treated with conventional drugs, and those in the intervention group were given respiratory rehabilitation training and limb rehabilitation on this basis. After three months of treatment, the indexes of sputum discharge, sputum traits, lung function, and the 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) were compared and quality of life and survival skills were assessed using the Barthel index and a quality-of-life comprehensive assessment questionnaire (GQOLI-74). Results The percentage of patients with mild Barthel index in the intervention group was higher than that in the observation group, and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). After treatment, the scores of life quality and the lung function in the intervention group were higher than those in the observation group (both P < 0.05). After three months of treatment, the sputum volume and sputum viscosity scores of the two groups were higher than those before treatment (P < 0.05). Conclusion Respiratory rehabilitation training with limb exercise rehabilitation can effectively improve the sputum clearance rate, lung function, and quality of life of patients with bronchiectasis and is thus worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic review with meta-analysis was to evaluate the effectiveness of RMT in internal and central nervous system disorders, on pulmonary function, exercise capacity and quality of life. METHODS The inclusion criteria were (1) publications designed as Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), with (2) participants being adults with pulmonary dysfunction caused by an internal disease or central nervous system disorder, (3) an intervention defined as RMT (either IMT or EMT) and (4) with the assessment of exercise capacity, respiratory function and quality of life. For the methodological quality assessment of risk of bias, likewise statistical analysis and meta-analysis the RevMan version 5.3 software and the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool were used. Two authors independently analysed the following databases for relevant research articles: PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase. RESULTS From a total of 2200 records, the systematic review includes 29 RCT with an overall sample size of 1155 patients. Results suggest that patients with internal and central nervous system disorders who underwent RMT had better quality of life and improved significantly their performance in exercise capacity and in respiratory function assessed with FVC and MIP when compared to control conditions (i.e. no intervention, sham training, placebo or conventional treatments). CONCLUSION Respiratory muscle training seems to be more effective than control conditions (i.e. no intervention, sham training, placebo or conventional treatment), in patients with pulmonary dysfunction due to internal and central nervous system disorders, for quality of life, exercise capacity and respiratory function assessed with MIP and FVC, but not with FEV1.

Low Intensity Respiratory Muscle Training in COVID-19 Patients after Invasive Mechanical Ventilation: A Retrospective Case-Series Study. Biomedicines 2022; 10:2807.

Abstract
Worldwide, healthcare systems had to respond to an exponential increase in COVID-19 patients with a noteworthy increment in intensive care units (ICU) admissions and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). The aim was to determine low intensity respiratory muscle training (RMT) effects in COVID-19 patients upon medical discharge and after an ICU stay with IMV. A retrospective case-series study was performed. Forty COVID-19 patients were enrolled and divided into twenty participants who received IMV during ICU stay (IMV group) and 20 participants who did not receive IMV nor an ICU stay (non-IMV group). Maximal expiratory pressure (PEmax), maximal inspiratory pressure (PImax), COPD assessment test (CAT) and Medical Research Council (MRC) dyspnea scale were collected at baseline and after 12 weeks of low intensity RMT. A greater MRC dyspnea score and lower PImax were shown at baseline in the IMV group versus the non-IMV group (p < 0.01). RMT effects on the total sample improved all outcome measurements (p < 0.05; d = 0.38−0.98). Intragroup comparisons after RMT improved PImax, CAT and MRC scores in the IMV group (p = 0.001; d = 0.94−1.09), but not for PImax in the non-IMV group (p > 0.05). Between-groups comparison after RMT only showed MRC dyspnea improvements (p = 0.020; d = 0.74) in the IMV group versus non-IMV group. Furthermore, PImax decrease was only predicted by the IMV presence (R2 = 0.378). Low intensity RMT may improve respiratory muscle strength, health related quality of life and dyspnea in COVID-19 patients. Especially, low intensity RMT could improve dyspnea level and maybe PImax in COVID-19 patients who received IMV in ICU.

Abstract
Above-normal blood pressure (BP) is a primary risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. In a retrospective analysis of five pilot trials, we assessed the BP-lowering effects of high-resistance inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) in adults aged 18-82 years and the impact of IMST on maximal inspiratory pressure (PIMAX), a gauge of inspiratory muscle strength and independent disease risk factor. Participants were randomized to high-resistance IMST (75% PIMAX) or low-resistance sham (15% PIMAX) training (30 breaths/day, 5-7 days/wk, 6 wk). IMST (n = 67) reduced systolic BP (SBP) by 9 ± 6 mmHg (P < 0.01) and diastolic BP (DBP) by 4 ± 4 mmHg (P < 0.01). IMST-related reductions in SBP and DBP emerged by week 2 of training (-4 ± 8 mmHg and -3 ± 6 mmHg; P ≤ 0.01, respectively) and continued across the 6-wk intervention. SBP and DBP were unchanged with sham training (n = 61, all P > 0.05). Select subject characteristics slightly modified the impact of IMST on BP. Greater reductions in SBP were associated with older age (β = -0.07 ± 0.03; P = 0.04) and greater reductions in DBP associated with medication-naïve BP (β = -3 ± 1; P = 0.02) and higher initial DBP (β = -0.12 ± 0.05; P = 0.04). PIMAX increased with high-resistance IMST and low-resistance sham training, with a greater increase from high-resistance IMST (+20 ± 17 vs. +6 ± 14 cmH2O; P < 0.01). Gains in PIMAX had a modest inverse relation with age (β = -0.20 ± 0.09; P = 0.03) and baseline PIMAX (β = -0.15 ± 0.07; P = 0.04) but not to reductions in SBP or DBP. These compiled findings from multiple independent trials provide the strongest evidence to date that high-resistance IMST evokes clinically significant reductions in SBP and DBP, and increases in PIMAX, in adult men and women.NEW & NOTEWORTHY In young-to-older adult men and women, 6 wk of high-resistance inspiratory muscle strength training lowers casual systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 9 mmHg and 4 mmHg, respectively, with initial reductions observed by week 2 of training. Given blood pressure outcomes with the intervention were only slightly altered by subject baseline characteristics (i.e., age, blood pressure medication, and health status), inspiratory muscle strength training is effective in lowering blood pressure in a broad range of adults.

Abstract
Purpose The patients with prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) have the risk of ineffective coughing and infection due to diaphragm weakness. This study aimed to explore the effect of abdominal weight training (AWT) intervention with/without cough machine (CM) assistance on lung function, respiratory muscle strength and cough ability in these patients. Methods Forty patients with PMV were randomly assigned to three groups: AWT group (n = 12), AWT + CM group (n = 14) and control group (n = 14). Change of maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP), Maximum expiratory pressure (MEP) and peak cough flow (PCF) between 1 day before and 2 weeks after the intervention were compared among these three groups. Results MIP before and after intervention in AWT group (30.50 ± 11.73 vs. 36.00 ± 10.79; p < 0.05) and AWT + CM group (29.8 ± 12.14 vs. 36.14 ± 10.42; p < 0.05) compared with control group (28.43 ± 9.74 vs 26.71 ± 10.77; p > 0.05) was significantly improved. MEP before and after intervention in AWT group (30.58 ± 15.19 vs. 41.50 ± 18.33; p < 0.05) and AWT + CM group (27.29 ± 12.76 vs 42.43 ± 16.96; p < 0.05) compared with control group (28.86 ± 10.25 vs. 29.57 ± 14.21; p > 0.05) was significantly improved. PCF before and after intervention in AWT group in AWT group (105.83 ± 16.21 vs. 114.17 ± 15.20; p < 0.05) and AWT + CM group (108.57 ± 18.85 vs. 131.79 ± 38.96; p < 0.05) compared to control group (108.57 ± 19.96 vs. 109.86 ± 17.44; p > 0.05) showed significant improvements. AWT + CM group had significantly greater improvements than control group in MIP and peak cough flow than control group (13.71 ± 11.28 vs 19.64 ± 29.90, p < 0.05). Conclusion AWT can significantly improve lung function, respiratory muscle strength, and cough ability in the PMV patients. AWT + CM can further improve their expiratory muscle strength and cough ability.

Efficacy of Physiotherapy Interventions on Weaning in Mechanically Ventilated Critically Ill Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Front Med (Lausanne) 2022; 9:889218. [PMID: 35615094 PMCID: PMC9124783 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.889218] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2022] [Indexed: 01/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is currently considered a life-saving intervention. However, growing evidence highlighted that prolonged MV significantly affects functional outcomes and length of stay. In this scenario, controversies are still open about the optimal rehabilitation strategies for improving MV duration in ICU patients. In addition, the efficacy of physiotherapy interventions in critical ill patients without positive history of chronic respiratory conditions is still debated. Therefore, this systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with meta-analysis aimed at characterizing the efficacy of a comprehensive physiotherapy intervention in critically ill patients. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched up to October 22, 2021 to identify RCTs assessing acute patients mechanical ventilated in ICU setting undergoing a rehabilitative intervention. The primary outcomes were MV duration, extubation, and weaning time. The secondary outcomes were weaning successful rate, respiratory function, ICU discharge rate and length of stay. Out of 2503 records, 12 studies were included in the present work. The meta-analysis performed in 6 RCTs showed a significant improvement in terms of MV duration (overall effect size: −3.23 days; 95% CI = −5.79, −0.67, p = 0.01; Z = 2.47) in patients treated with a comprehensive physiotherapy intervention including early mobilization, positioning, airway clearance techniques, lung expansion and respiratory muscle training. The quality assessment underlined 9 studies (75%) of good quality and 3 studies of fair quality according to the PEDro scale. In conclusion, our results provided previously unavailable data about the role of comprehensive physiotherapy intervention in improving MV duration in critical ill patients without chronic respiratory conditions. Further studies are needed to better characterize the optimal combination of rehabilitation strategies enhancing the improvements in critical ill patients without chronic respiratory disorders.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
There is growing evidence for physiotherapy in the intensive care unit (ICU), but physiotherapy in the ICU and patients’ referral rate remains low in Nigeria. This study assessed the healthcare professionals’ perception of the physiotherapists’ scope of practice and skills in managing patients in the ICU of selected teaching hospitals in Southern Nigeria. The study was a cross-sectional survey that involved seventy healthcare professionals working in the ICU who completed an adapted and validated questionnaire. The data obtained from the cross-sectional study were presented using descriptive statistics of mean, standard deviation, frequency distribution, and percentage.
Results
The mean age of the participants was 39.74 ± 7.08 years. The majority of the participants had a bachelor’s degree and had worked for a minimum of 5 years in the ICU, with all the participants working in a mixed ICU and 46.7% work in ICUs with four to six beds. Physiotherapists (PTs) are not posted exclusively to the ICUs, and PTs were reported to be on call in most of the ICUs during the weekdays and weekends. Patients were referred for physiotherapy by the physicians. Healthcare professionals had negative perceptions about PTs’ scope in airway suctioning, nebulization, weaning, and adjustment of mechanical ventilators, intubation, extubation, and changing tracheostomy tubes for ICU patients. Participants had a positive perception about PTs’ assessment skills in the ICU except for hypoxemia calculation, readiness for weaning, and the need for humidification.
Conclusion
Healthcare professionals working in the ICU in the selected hospitals had both negative and positive perceptions regarding certain areas about the scope of practice and skills of PTs in managing patients in the ICU.

Abstract
BackgroundCritically ill patients who have difficulties weaning from the mechanical ventilator are prone to develop respiratory muscle weakness. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) can improve respiratory muscle strength. Whether IMT can improve scalene and sternocleidomastoid muscle oxygenation parameters is unknown.AimTo compare changes in muscle oxygenation parameters of scalene and sternocleidomastoid inspiratory muscles during a standardized task between patients with weaning difficulties who received either high-intensity IMT (intervention) or sham low-intensity IMT (control).MethodForty-one patients performed daily IMT sessions (4 sets, 6–10 breaths) until weaning success or for 28 consecutive days. The training load was progressively adjusted in the intervention group (n = 22) to the highest tolerable load, whilst the control group (n = 19) kept training at 10% of their baseline maximal inspiratory pressure (PImax). Breathing characteristics (i.e., work and power of breathing, PoB), respiratory muscle function [i.e., PImax and forced vital capacity (FVC)] were measured during a standardized loaded breathing task against a load of 30% of baseline PImax before and after the IMT period. In addition, during the same loaded breathing task, absolute mean and nadir changes from baseline in local scalene and sternocleidomastoid muscle oxygen saturation index (Δ%StiO2) (an index of oxygen extraction) and nadir Δ%StiO2 normalized for the PoB were measured by near-infrared spectroscopy.ResultsAt post measures, only the intervention group improved mean PoB compared to pre measures (Pre: 0.42 ± 0.33 watts, Post: 0.63 ± 0.51watts, p-value < 0.01). At post measures, both groups significantly improved nadir scalene muscles StiO2% normalized for the mean PoB (ΔStiOnadir%/watt) compared to pre measurements and the improvement was not significant different between groups (p-value = 0.40). However, at post measures, nadir sternocleidomastoid muscle StiO2% normalized for the mean PoB (ΔStiOnadir%/watt) was significantly greater improved in the intervention group (mean difference: +18.4, 95%CI: −1.4; 38.1) compared to the control group (mean difference: +3.7, 95%CI: −18.7; 26.0, between group p-value < 0.01). Both groups significantly improved PImax (Intervention: +15 ± 13 cmH2O p-value < 0.01, Control: +13 ± 15 cmH2O p-value < 0.01). FVC only significantly improved in the intervention group (+0.33 ± 0.31 L p < 0.01) report also change in control group.ConclusionThis exploratory study suggests that high-intensity IMT induces greater improvements in scalene and sternocleidomastoid muscle oxygenation parameters attributed for oxygen delivery, utilization and oxygen saturation index compared to low-intensity IMT in patients with weaning difficulties.

Abstract
Background The roles of physiotherapy in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) have significantly developed from the traditional management of respiratory conditions to early rehabilitation and mobilisation of patients on mechanical ventilation. Surveys of United Kingdom, Australia and regional ICU physiotherapy practice have been published but there are no local data sets. This study aims to report the physiotherapy practices across the adult ICUs of Singapore. Methods Twenty-nine item questionnaire was mailed to 90 physiotherapists working in 15 adult ICUs across restructured and private hospitals in Singapore. Data sets were summarised from the returned questionnaires. This includes identifying common physiotherapy techniques and exercise prescription protocols for both mechanically and non-mechanically ventilated patients in the ICU. Results A total of 63 (70%) questionnaires were returned. The most used physiotherapy interventions were airway secretion clearance, techniques to improve lung ventilation and mobilisation out of bed. Positioning was most used respiratory technique (60/61, 98%). Sitting on the edge of bed is the most preferred physical activity for ICU patients (43/44, 98%). Exercise was routinely prescribed (50/61, 83%) although only a minority (8/50, 16%) have established exercise prescription protocols. For mechanically ventilated patients, active/active assisted exercises were most used (40/44, 91%). 12% of ICU use either Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment Tool or the Functional Status Score for the Intensive Care Unit as routine outcome measures. Conclusion Airway clearance was stated as the most used physiotherapy technique. Exercise is routinely prescribed in ICU. Validated outcome measures are only used by few.

Feasibility of Chest Wall and Diaphragm Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) Techniques in Mechanically Ventilated Patients. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19020960. [PMID: 35055783 PMCID: PMC8776000 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19020960] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2021] [Revised: 01/07/2022] [Accepted: 01/12/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Physical therapy is part of the treatment for patients admitted to ICU. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is one of the physiotherapy concepts including manual techniques and verbal stimulation. The purpose of this paper is to examine the feasibility of PNF techniques in mechanically ventilated (MV) ICU patients. Another aim is to verify whether the technique using resistance during the patient’s inhalation will have a different effect than the technique used to teaching the correct breathing patterns. Methods: Patients admitted to tertiary ICU were enrolled in this study, randomly divided into two groups, and received four 90-second manual breathing stimulations each. The following vital signs were assessed: HR, SBP, DBP, and SpO2. Results: 61 MV ICU adult patients (mean age 67.8; 25 female and 36 male) were enrolled in this study. No significant differences in HR, SBP, and DBP were observed both for two techniques measured separately and between them. Statistically significant differences were noticed analysing SpO2 in the rhythmic initiation technique (RIT) group (p-value = 0.013). Conclusions: Short-term PNF interventions did not influence clinically relevant vital parameters among MV patients and seem to be feasible in this group of ICU patients.

Abstract
Introduction Patients require prolonged mechanical ventilation to overcome respiratory
failure in the chronic respiratory care ward; however, how to facilitate
ventilator weaning using a nurse-led strategy is limited. Objectives This study aimed to examine the impact of adjusting ventilator trigger
sensitivity as inspiratory muscle training on weaning parameters in patients
with prolonged ventilator dependence. Methods Multiple pre-test–post-test with a non-equivalent control group design was
conducted at a chronic respiratory care ward in southern Taiwan. A
convenience sampling method was used to recruit patients who received
prolonged mechanical ventilation for more than 21 days into control
(n = 20) and intervention groups
(n = 22). Adjustment of ventilator trigger sensitivity
started from 10% of the initial maximum inspiratory pressure and increased
to 40% after a training period of six weeks. The weaning parameters were
collected for pre-test and multiple post-tests, and statistical analysis of
treatment effects was performed using the generalized estimating
equation. Results Magnitude of weaning parameters was significantly higher in the intervention
group after the six-week training, including maximum inspiratory pressure,
rapid shallow breathing index, tidal volume, and ratio of
arterial-to-inspired oxygen. Conclusion Adjustment of ventilator trigger sensitivity as inspiratory muscle training
can help prolonged ventilator-dependent patients improve their respiratory
muscle strength, breathing patterns, and oxygenation.

Abstract
Background The measurement of maximal respiratory pressures (MRPs) is commonly used to assess respiratory muscle strength. However, in Spain, there is no consensus on which is the most adequate measurement protocol, as theSpanish Society of Pneumology and Thoracic Surgery (SEPAR) protocol differs from the one endorsed by the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society(ATS/ERS). This study compared the absolute and predictive values of maximal expiratory and inspiratory pressures (MEP and MIP) in healthy adults obtained with the two protocols. Methods A cross-sectional study with a sample of healthy adults was conducted. Lung function and MRPs were assessed. MEP and MIP were measured using a digital manometer according to the SEPAR and ATS/ERS. Protocols were applied in random order by the same trained physiotherapist. The comfort experienced with each protocol was assessed through a short questionnaire. Paired t-tests were used to compare the results from both protocols. Results A total of 31 subjects (mean age 35.7±12.4 years; 14 females; FEV1=108.3±10.5%; FVC=103.7±10%) were included. There was a significant difference between MRPs favouring the SEPAR protocol, with the mean difference being 34.9±28.1 cmH2O (p˂0.001) for MEP and 8±11.6 cmH2O (p=0.001) for MIP. ATS/ERS protocol was, however, considered more comfortable than SEPAR (p<0.005). Conclusions This study shows that, in healthy adults, higher MRPs are obtained using the SEPAR protocol. Yet, the ATS/ERS protocol is experienced as more comfortable. Future studies are needed to analyse the application of both protocols in other populations and their associated comfort.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain the leading cause of death in developed and developing societies and aging is the primary risk factor for CVD. Much of the increased risk of CVD in midlife/older adults (i.e., adults aged 50 years and older) is due to increases in blood pressure, vascular endothelial dysfunction and stiffening of the large elastic arteries. Aerobic exercise training is an effective lifestyle intervention to improve CV function and decrease CVD risk with aging. However, <40% of midlife/older adults meet guidelines for aerobic exercise, due to time availability-related barriers and other obstacles to adherence. Therefore, there is a need for new lifestyle interventions that not only improve CV function with aging but also promote adherence. High-resistance inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) is an emerging, time-efficient (5 min/day) lifestyle intervention. Early research suggests high-resistance IMST may promote adherence, lower blood pressure and potentially improve vascular endothelial function. However, additional investigation will be required to more definitively establish high-resistance IMST as a healthy lifestyle intervention for CV aging. This review will summarize the current evidence on high-resistance IMST for improving CV function with aging and will identify key research gaps and future directions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with neurological disorders can present the weakness of respiratory muscle and impaired cough function. Previous studies have shown that respiratory muscle strength training (RMT) is an effective method of improving the strength of respiratory muscle. The effects of RMT on cough function remain controversial. OBJECTIVE We aimed to analyze randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the effects of RMT on cough function of patients with neurological disorders. METHODS Pubmed, Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched electronically for RCTs. Two reviewers independently performed data extraction and quality assessment. Data were analyzed by using RevMan 5.3 software of The Cochrane Collaboration. RESULTS Five studies with 185 participants were included. The mean PEDro score was 6.2 (range 5 to 7), showing moderate methodological quality. Random-effects meta-analyses showed that respiratory muscle training improved peak expiratory cough flow of voluntary cough by 2.16 (95% CI 1.16 to 3.17) and involuntary cough by 2.84 (95% CI 1.29 to 4.39), with statistical significance (P < 0.0001, P = 0.0003). The experimental group had an improvement of 0.19 cmH2O (95% CI -0.12 to 0.5) on the maximal inspiratory pressure, 0.09 cmH2O (95% CI -0.23 to 0.42) on the maximal expiratory pressure, but with no statistical significance (P = 0.23, P = 0.58) between groups. CONCLUSION Respiratory muscle training was considered as an effective method for improving cough function. However, this review was insufficient to conclude whether respiratory muscle training was effective in improving inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength, this was opposite with previous meta-analysis. These effects might due to the small samples and different diseases.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the effects of external diaphragmatic pacing (EDP) on patients with chronic cor pulmonale (CCP). Methods Fifty patients with CCP were enrolled in Kashgar Prefecture Second People’s Hospital in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China from 2016 to 2017. The patients were randomized into a group that received anti-CCP therapy (negative control group) or a group that received additional EDP treatment (EDP group). We recorded and compared maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), maximal expiratory pressure (MEP), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC, and the 6-minute walking test between the two groups on the first and tenth days of treatment. Results Ten days after treatment began, MIP, FVC, and the 6-minute walking test were significantly improved in both groups. Importantly, MIP and FVC were significantly higher in the EDP group compared with the control group on the tenth day. Conclusion In addition to treatment for CCP, these patients can obtain extra benefit by using EDP treatment.

Abstract
Despite the use of enormous personnel and other resources in German weaning centers, approximately 20 % of patients currently fail to get weaned from mechanical ventilation (MV) and need out-of-hospital ventilation.Between 03/2015 and 11/2019, we carried out a pilot project with 33 patients (48 % female, mean age 68 ± 11 years at hospital admission) in order to re-evaluate their options of a possible weaning from MV. At this stage the patients had been invasively ventilated for 475 ± 775 days. The mean stay in our weaning center was 26 ± 19 days. 24/33 (73.53 %) patients were successfully weaned from MV. Of those, 11/24 (44 %) were discharged with non-invasive out-of-hospital ventilation. The completely weaned patients had a survival period of 3 or 12 months (92 % and 77 %), respectively. In those discharged with non-invasive ventilation, the survival period of 3 or months was 91 % and 81 %, respectively. In those discharged with invasive ventilation, this was 86 % and 71 %, respectively.The current results demonstrate that even those undergoing long-term out-of-hospital invasive ventilation can be successfully weaned from MV. Therefore, we suggest regular re-evaluations of weaning opportunities in invasively ventilated ambulatory patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To test if the use of an inspiratory muscle training program with an electronic resistive loading device is associated with benefits as to muscle strength, weaning, and survival in the ICU. DESIGN Prospective randomized controlled trial. SETTINGS Study conducted at the ICU of a Navy's hospital, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from January 2016 to September 2018. PATIENTS Tracheostomized patients (18-86 yr) on prolonged weaning. INTERVENTIONS Participants were assigned to inspiratory muscle training (intervention group) or a traditional T-piece protocol (control group). In the inspiratory muscle training group, participants underwent training with an electronic inspiratory training device (POWERbreathe K-5; Technologies Ltd, Birmingham, United Kingdom). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Changes in respiratory muscle strength and rates of ICU survival and weaning success were compared between groups. Forty-eight participants in the inspiratory muscle training group and 53 ones in the control group were included in the final analysis. The inspiratory muscle training was associated with a substantially higher gain on muscle strength as assessed by the maximal inspiratory pressure (70.5 [51.0-82.5] vs -48.0 cm H2O [36.0-72.0 cm H2O]; p = 0.003) and the timed inspiratory effort index (1.56 [1.25-2.08] vs 0.99 cm H2O/s [0.65-1.71 cm H2O/s]; p = 0.001). Outcomes at the 60th day of ICU were significantly better in the intervention group regarding both survival (71.1% vs 48.9%; p = 0.030) and weaning success (74.8% vs 44.5%; p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The use of an inspiratory muscle training program with an electronic resistive loading device was associated with substantial muscle strength gain and positive impacts in two very relevant clinical outcomes: the rates of ICU survival and successful weaning.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation is an effective medical means in the treatment of patients with critically ill, COVID-19 and other pulmonary diseases. During the mechanical ventilation and the weaning process, the conduct of pulmonary rehabilitation is essential for the patients to improve the spontaneous breathing ability and to avoid the weakness of respiratory muscles and other pulmonary functional trauma. However, inappropriate mechanical ventilation strategies for pulmonary rehabilitation often result in weaning difficulties and other ventilator complications. In this article, the mechanical ventilation strategies for pulmonary rehabilitation are studied based on the analysis of patient-ventilator interaction. A pneumatic model of the mechanical ventilation system is established to determine the mathematical relationship among the pressure, the volumetric flow, and the tidal volume. Each ventilation cycle is divided into four phases according to the different respiratory characteristics of patients, namely, the triggering phase, the inhalation phase, the switching phase, and the exhalation phase. The control parameters of the ventilator are adjusted by analyzing the interaction between the patient and the ventilator at different phases. A novel fuzzy control method of the ventilator support pressure is proposed in the pressure support ventilation mode. According to the fuzzy rules in this research, the plateau pressure can be obtained by the trigger sensitivity and the patient's inspiratory effort. An experiment prototype of the ventilator is established to verify the accuracy of the pneumatic model and the validity of the mechanical ventilation strategies proposed in this article. In addition, through the discussion of the patient-ventilator asynchrony, the strategies for mechanical ventilation can be adjusted accordingly. The results of this research are meaningful for the clinical operation of mechanical ventilation. Besides, these results provide a theoretical basis for the future research on the intelligent control of ventilator and the automation of weaning process.

Abstract
As part of COVID-19 consequences, it has been estimated that 5% of patients affected by this disease will require admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), and physical therapy techniques have been implemented in patients with other conditions admitted to ICU. The aim of the present study is to summarize all the available information about the implementation of physical therapy management in critically ill patients. From three clinical guidelines already published, we performed a search in PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and CINAHL, including systematic reviews, clinical guidelines, and randomized controlled trials, among others. Data extraction was performed independently by two reviewers. Quality assessment was developed through the AMSTAR-2 tool and PEDro Scale. A narrative synthesis was performed and 29 studies were included. The information extracted has been classified into four folders: ICU environment in COVID-19 (security aspects and management of the patient), respiratory physiotherapy (general indications and contraindications, spontaneously breathing and mechanically ventilated patient approaches), positional treatment, and exercise therapy (safety aspects and progression). The implementation of physiotherapy in patients affected with COVID-19 admitted to the ICU is a necessary strategy that prevents complications and contributes to the stabilization of patients in critical periods, facilitating their recovery.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is an essential part of modern intensive care medicine. MV is performed in patients with severe respiratory failure caused by respiratory muscle insufficiency and/or lung parenchymal disease; that is, when other treatments such as medication, oxygen administration, secretion management, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), or nasal high-flow therapy have failed. MV is required for maintaining gas exchange and allows more time to curatively treat the underlying cause of respiratory failure. In the majority of ventilated patients, liberation or "weaning" from MV is routine, without the occurrence of any major problems. However, approximately 20% of patients require ongoing MV, despite amelioration of the conditions that precipitated the need for it in the first place. Approximately 40-50% of the time spent on MV is required to liberate the patient from the ventilator, a process called "weaning". In addition to acute respiratory failure, numerous factors can influence the duration and success rate of the weaning process; these include age, comorbidities, and conditions and complications acquired during the ICU stay. According to international consensus, "prolonged weaning" is defined as the weaning process in patients who have failed at least 3 weaning attempts, or require more than 7 days of weaning after the first spontaneous breathing trial (SBT). Given that prolonged weaning is a complex process, an interdisciplinary approach is essential for it to be successful. In specialised weaning centres, approximately 50% of patients with initial weaning failure can be liberated from MV after prolonged weaning. However, the heterogeneity of patients undergoing prolonged weaning precludes the direct comparison of individual centres. Patients with persistent weaning failure either die during the weaning process, or are discharged back to their home or to a long-term care facility with ongoing MV. Urged by the growing importance of prolonged weaning, this Sk2 Guideline was first published in 2014 as an initiative of the German Respiratory Society (DGP), in conjunction with other scientific societies involved in prolonged weaning. The emergence of new research, clinical study findings and registry data, as well as the accumulation of experience in daily practice, have made the revision of this guideline necessary. The following topics are dealt with in the present guideline: Definitions, epidemiology, weaning categories, underlying pathophysiology, prevention of prolonged weaning, treatment strategies in prolonged weaning, the weaning unit, discharge from hospital on MV, and recommendations for end-of-life decisions. Special emphasis was placed on the following themes: (1) A new classification of patient sub-groups in prolonged weaning. (2) Important aspects of pulmonary rehabilitation and neurorehabilitation in prolonged weaning. (3) Infrastructure and process organisation in the care of patients in prolonged weaning based on a continuous treatment concept. (4) Changes in therapeutic goals and communication with relatives. Aspects of paediatric weaning are addressed separately within individual chapters. The main aim of the revised guideline was to summarize both current evidence and expert-based knowledge on the topic of "prolonged weaning", and to use this information as a foundation for formulating recommendations related to "prolonged weaning", not only in acute medicine but also in the field of chronic intensive care medicine. The following professionals served as important addressees for this guideline: intensivists, pulmonary medicine specialists, anaesthesiologists, internists, cardiologists, surgeons, neurologists, paediatricians, geriatricians, palliative care clinicians, rehabilitation physicians, intensive/chronic care nurses, physiotherapists, respiratory therapists, speech therapists, medical service of health insurance, and associated ventilator manufacturers.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to compare muscle activation of the diaphragm (DIA), scalenes (SA), parasternal intercostals (PS), and sternomastoid (SM) during submaximal intermittent neck flexion (INF) versus submaximal inspiratory threshold loading (ITL) until task failure in healthy adults. METHODS Twelve healthy adults performed submaximal ITL or INF tests in random order for 2 d. Surface electromyography was monitored to acquire root mean square (RMS) and median power frequency (MPF) from the SA, PS, SM, and DIA. Maximal inspiratory pressures and maximal voluntary contraction for neck flexion were determined. Next, participants performed the first submaximal test-ITL or INF-targeting 50% ± 5% of the maximal inspiratory pressure or maximal voluntary contraction, respectively, until task failure. After a rest, they performed the other test until task failure. Two days later, they performed ITL and INF but in the opposite order. The Borg scale assessed breathlessness and perceived exertion. RESULTS Endurance times for ITL and INF were 38.1 and 26.3 min, respectively. INF activated three of four inspiratory muscles at higher average RMS (PS, SM, and SA) and at different MPF (PS, SM, and DIA but not SA) compared with ITL. During ITL, RMS did not change in the four inspiratory muscles over time, but MPF decreased in PS, SM, and SA (P < 0.04). In contrast, RMS increased in three of four inspiratory muscles (SM, PS, and SA) during INF, but MPF did not change throughout its duration. Borg rating was 3.9-fold greater than ITL compared with INF. CONCLUSION At a similar percentage of maximal load, INF evokes greater activation of primary muscles of inspiration (PS and SA) and a major accessory muscle of inspiration (SM) compared with ITL during a prolonged submaximal protocol.

Abstract
In late 2019, an outbreak of a novel human coronavirus causing respiratory disease was identified in Wuhan, China. The virus spread rapidly worldwide, reaching pandemic status. Chest computed tomography scans of patients with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) have revealed different stages of respiratory involvement, with extremely variable lung presentations, which require individualized ventilatory strategies in those who become critically ill. Chest physiotherapy has proven to be effective for improving long-term respiratory physical function among ICU survivors. The ARIR recently reported the role of chest physiotherapy in the acute phase of COVID-19, pointing out limitation of some procedures due to the limited experience with this disease in the ICU setting. Evidence on the efficacy of chest physiotherapy in COVID-19 is still lacking. In this line, the current review discusses the important role of chest physiotherapy in critically ill mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19, around the weaning process, and how it can be safely applied with careful organization, including the training of healthcare staff and the appropriate use of personal protective equipment to minimize the risk of viral exposure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between muscle function in critically ill patients assessed using bedside techniques and clinical outcomes has not been systematically described. We aimed to evaluate the association between muscle weakness assessed by bedside evaluation and mortality or weaning from mechanical ventilation, and the capacity of each evaluation tool to predict outcomes. METHODS Five databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Science Direct) were searched from January 2000 to December 2018. Data were extracted and random effects meta-analyses were performed. RESULTS 60 studies were analysed, including 4382 patients. Intensive care unit (ICU)-related muscle weakness was associated with an increase in overall mortality with odds ratios ranging from 1.2 (95% CI 0.60-2.40) to 4.48 (95% CI 1.49-13.42). Transdiaphragmatic twitch pressure had the highest predictive capacity for overall mortality, with a sensitivity of 0.87 (95% CI 0.76-0.93) and a specificity of 0.36 (95% CI 0.27-0.43). The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.74 (95% CI 0.70-0.78). Muscle weakness was associated with an increase in mechanical ventilation weaning failure rate with an odds ratio ranging from 2.64 (95% CI 0.72-9.64) to 19.07 (95% CI 9.35-38.9). Diaphragm thickening fraction had the highest predictive capacity for weaning failure with a sensitivity of 0.76 (95% CI 0.67-0.83) and a specificity of 0.86 (95% CI 0.78-0.92). The AUC was 0.86 (95% CI 0.83-0.89). CONCLUSION ICU-related muscle weakness detected by bedside techniques is a serious issue associated with a high risk of death or prolonged mechanical ventilation. Evaluating diaphragm function should be a clinical priority in the ICU.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the Effectiveness of Pre-operative Respiratory Muscle Training versus Conventional Treatment for Improving post-operative pulmonary health after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG). Methods: A Prospective Randomized clinical trial was performed on sixty patients who underwent elective CABG at Faisalabad Institute of Cardiology. At the time of admission all patients were subjected to 6-minutes’ walk test (6MWT) as baseline. The subjects were then divided into two groups. The Group-I was subjected to respiratory muscle training whereas the Group-2 received the routine preoperative care. The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) was then repeated a day before surgery (pre-operative) and before discharge (post-operatively). Duration of post-operative mechanical ventilation, oxygen therapy and hospital stay were also noted as outcome measures of this study. Results: The pre-operative and post-operative readings showed that the patients in the interventional group performed better than the control group in their 6MWT with P-value of less than 0.05. Similarly the interventional group had shorter duration of mechanical ventilation, dependence on oxygen therapy and postoperative hospital stay as compared with the control group showing P-values below 0.05. Conclusion: The results showed that respiratory muscle training results in improved postoperative functional capacity and reduces of hospital stay.

Diaphragm Atrophy During Pediatric Acute Respiratory Failure Is Associated With Prolonged Noninvasive Ventilation Requirement Following Extubation. Pediatr Crit Care Med 2020; 21:e672-e678.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Diaphragm atrophy is evident during invasive ventilation for pediatric acute respiratory failure, but with unknown significance. We hypothesized that diaphragm atrophy in pediatric acute respiratory failure is associated with prolonged noninvasive positive pressure ventilation following extubation. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING Single-center academic PICU. PATIENTS Invasively ventilated children with acute respiratory failure. INTERVENTIONS Diaphragm ultrasound was performed within 36 hours after intubation and repeated within 48 hours preceding extubation. Rapid shallow breathing index at 15 and 30 minutes of a spontaneous breathing trial and negative inspiratory force were collected in a subset of patients concurrently with the ultrasound measurements. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Diaphragm thickness at end-expiration was measured to assess for diaphragm atrophy during mechanical ventilation. Percentage change in diaphragm thickness at end-expiration was defined as baseline diaphragm thickness at end-expiration minus final, preextubation diaphragm thickness at end-expiration divided by baseline diaphragm thickness at end-expiration. The primary outcome measure was duration of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation following extubation with prolonged use defined as noninvasive positive pressure ventilation use for greater than 24 hours postextubation. Among 56 children, 47 (median age, 15.5 mo; interquartile range, 6-53 mo) had diaphragm thickness at end-expiration measured within 48 hours prior to extubation. Fourteen (30%) had prolonged noninvasive positive pressure ventilation use with median duration 110 hours (interquartile range, 52-130 hr). The median percentage change of diaphragm thickness at end-expiration from baseline among those with and without prolonged noninvasive positive pressure ventilation use was -20% (interquartile range, -32% to -10%) versus -7% (interquartile range, -21% to 0%) (p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Diaphragm atrophy is associated with prolonged postextubation noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in children with acute respiratory failure. Serial bedside diaphragm ultrasound may identify children at risk for prolonged noninvasive positive pressure ventilation use after extubation.

Abstract
The 2019-2020 coronavirus pandemic elucidated how a single highly infectious virus can overburden health care systems of even highly economically developed nations. A leading contributor to these concerning outcomes is a lack of available intensive care unit (ICU) beds and mechanical ventilation support. Poorer health is associated with a higher risk for severe respiratory complications from the coronavirus. We hypothesize that impaired respiratory muscle performance is an underappreciated factor contributing to poor outcomes unfolding during the coronavirus pandemic. Although impaired respiratory muscle performance is considered to be rare, it is more frequently encountered in patients with poorer health, in particular obesity. However, measures of respiratory muscle performance are not routinely performed in clinical practice, including those with symptoms such as dyspnea. The purpose of this article is to discuss the potential role of respiratory muscle performance from the perspective of the coronavirus pandemic. We also provide a theoretical patient management model to screen for impaired respiratory muscle performance and intervention, if identified, with the goal of unburdening health care systems during future pandemic crises.

Pediatr Nephrol 2020; 35:1507-1516. [PMID: 32253520 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-020-04539-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2019] [Revised: 02/11/2020] [Accepted: 03/12/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents the irreversible stages of renal failure and is a growing worldwide public health issue associated with increases in morbidity, mortality, and decreased quality of life. Kidney transplantation is considered one of the best treatment options in this population. However, even after surgery, respiratory muscle strength is below normal values, and inspiratory muscle training (IMT) improves respiratory muscle function, strength, and endurance. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of IMT regarding respiratory muscle strength, functional capacity, and pulmonary function in pediatric kidney transplant recipients with CKD, and secondarily, to assess the biochemical profile of patients after intervention. METHODS This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Patients were randomized into two groups, intervention (IG) and control (CG) and performed IMT home-based training for 6 weeks. In the IG, the load was adjusted to 40% of the maximal inspiratory pressure and in the CG was adjusted to a minimum placebo load (9 cm H2O). RESULTS Thirty-one patients were randomly allocated to the intervention (n = 16) or control (n = 15) groups. There were no differences at baseline between groups. Increase of 35% in the maximal inspiratory pressure predicted and 26% in the maximal expiratory pressure predicted in the IG were found, compared with 5 and 4% in the CG. There was an increase in hemoglobin and hematocrit values in the IG. CONCLUSIONS Home-based IMT provides a significant increase in respiratory muscle strength, without changes in functional capacity and pulmonary function. Benefits regarding biochemical markers (hemoglobin and hematocrit) were also observed.
