Trial summary

The study is a pre-post test with quasi experimental design. Forty-two intubated-adults who had been mechanically ventilated for more than 21 days were selected on the basis of inclusion criteria in respiratory care ward. These patients were classified equally into study group and control group. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Impact of Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training on Weaning Parameters Among Ventilator-dependent Patients

The study is a pre-post test with quasi experimental design. Forty-two intubated-adults who had been mechanically ventilated for more than 21 days were selected on the basis of inclusion criteria in respiratory care ward. These patients were classified equally into study group and control group. The experimental group received the intervention of respiratory muscles training 5 times/ a week for 6 weeks. The control group received normal care. The intervention was adjusted trigger sensitivity to 10% of the first recorded Maximal Inspiratory Pressure at the start of training, then increased the ventilator trigger sensitivity and training duration weekly. The largest of ventilator trigger sensitivity is not over 40% of the initial Maximal Inspiratory Pressure and the timing of training duration is no longer than 30 minutes.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • inspiratory muscle strength trainingDevice

    The experimental group received the intervention of inspiratory muscles training 5times/week for 6 weeks, 5days/ per cycle; the patients stayed in the semi-recumbent position, recorded the initial/first measurement of MIP. The trigger sensitivity was adjusted to 10% of the first recorded MIP at the start of training, then reducing the ventilator trigger sensitivity and training duration weekly.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximal inspiratory pressure

    a measure of the strength of inspiratory muscles, measurement by cmH2O.

    Measured: 7 weeks

  2. Tidal volume

    the volume of air that is transported into and out of the lungs with each respiratory cycle, measurement by mL per inspiration

    Measured: 7 weeks

  3. Minute ventilation volume

    the quantity of air moved into and out of the lungs in a minute, measurement by l.min

    Measured: 7 weeks

  4. Rapid shallow breathing index

    the ratio of respiratory frequency to tidal volume (f/VT)

    Measured: 7 weeks

  5. Oxygenation index.

    Oxygenation index OI = FiO2 x 100 x M AP/PaO2, where FiO2 is the fraction of inspired oxygen, MAP is the mean airway pressure, and PaO2 is the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood, calculated at the end of the first day of standardized preoperative stabilization

    Measured: 7 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing inspiratory muscle strength training in people with Ventilator Dependency, run by Fooyin University at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximal inspiratory pressure (time frame: 7 weeks). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Jun 2019.
