About this study
Official title: Effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Respiratory Muscle Strength, Diaphragm Thickness, and Diaphragm Excursion in Mechanically Ventilated Intensive Care Patients
In addition to conventional chest physiotherapy, inspiratory muscle training will be applied in mechanically ventilated intensive care patients. It is aimed to examine the effects of inspiratory muscle training on respiratory muscle strength, diaphragm thickness, and diaphragm excursion in intubated or tracheostomized patients with mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit.
Read the detailed description
Subjects who mechanically ventilated in the intensive care unit will be divided two groups. Study group will recieve inspiratory muscle training in addition to convantional chest physiotherapy. Control group will recieve convantional chest physiotherapy. Training will continue until discharge or until the 21st day of the training. Respiratory muscle strength, diaphragm thickness and diaphragm excursion were measured before training and before discharge.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Inspiratory Muscle Training | Experimental | Inspiratory muscle training in addition to convantional chest physiotherapy Receives: Device: inspiratory muscle training |
| Convational Chest Physiotherapy | Experimental | Diaphragm breathing, costal expansion exercises, postural drainage, effective coughing, in-bed range of motion exercises, and mobilization Receives: Other: Convantional chest physiotherapy |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Respiratory muscle strengh
Respiratory muscle strength was measured as maximal inspiratory pressure.
Measured: 20 minutes
Diaphragm thickness
Diaphragm thickness was evaluated using ultrasound imaging in two-dimensional B mode (4-13 MHz) performed from the midaxillary level from the right intercostal space with patients sitting in a position as upright as possible. The thickness of the diaphragm was ensured with the superficial probe at end-inspiration (Tins) and end-expiration (Texp).
Measured: 15 minutes
Diaphragm excursion
Diaphragm excursion was evaluated at the midaxillary level from the right subcostal area with M-mode (2-5 MHz) ultrasonography in normal inspiration and deep inspiration.
Measured: 20
Secondary outcomes (4)
Physical Function in Intensive Care Test (PFIT)
The PFIT is a test battery applied by the researchers that consists of four main headings: "Support (from sitting to standing up)," "Cadence (steps/minute)," "Shoulder (flexion strength)," and "Knee (extension strength)." Stand up from sitting was scored according to the degree of help received (0 = without help, 1 = with the help of one person, 2 = with the help of two people). We recorded standstill as the number of steps and the time elapsed while the standing still action was performed. Shoulder and knee muscle strength were assessed using a manual muscle test (0 = no contraction, 1 = contraction only, 2 = movement completed when gravity is eliminated, 3 = movement completed against gravity, 4 = movement completed with less than maximum resistance to gravity, 5 = movement completed with maximum resistance to gravity)
Measured: 20 minutes
Duration of intubation
After the subjects were included in the study duration of intubation was recorded.
Measured: 3-15 days
Extubation rate
Weaning rates of patients from mechanical ventilation
Measured: 3-15 days
Rate of discharge from the intensive care unit
Discharge rate of patients included in the study from intensive care unit
Measured: 8-21 days
