Summary
Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) aids difficult weaning in ventilated patients. Further research is needed to optimize IMT protocols and address unexpected adverse effects for improved patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Critical Care Medicine
- Respiratory Physiology
- Rehabilitation Science
Background:
- Mechanically ventilated patients often face challenges with weaning.
- Difficult weaning is associated with significant inspiratory muscle weakness.
- Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is a potential intervention to improve weaning outcomes.
