New treatment option for Tracheostomy Complication
Official title Assessment of the Effect of an Inspiratory Muscle Training Regimen on Decannulation Time in Tracheostomized Subjects
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06684392
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The objective of this project is to evaluate the effect of applying an individualized inspiratory muscle training regimen, combining strength and endurance exercises over a two-week period, on improving maximum inspiratory pressure, diaphragm thickness fraction, and its impact on successful decannulation time in patients with tracheostomy secondary to prolonged mechanical ventilation at HRLBO. Two groups of adult tracheostomized patients will be assessed: an experimental group, who will follow an individualized inspiratory muscle training regimen for 14 days along with standard physiotherapy, and a control group, who will receive standard physiotherapy and guided weaning through scheduled disconnection windows from mechanical ventilation.
