Clinical Trial: Serial Diaphragm Ultrasound Evaluation During Inspiratory Muscle Training in Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation

U.S., July 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07709793) titled 'Serial Diaphragm Ultrasound Evaluation During Inspiratory Muscle Training in Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation' on July 07.

Brief Summary: Diaphragm dysfunction contributes to prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) and difficult weaning. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) may improve respiratory muscle performance, while serial diaphragm ultrasound offers a bedside method for monitoring diaphragmatic recovery. This study used diaphragm ultrasound to evaluate the effects of high- versus low-intensity IMT in patients with PMV and diaphragm dysfunction.

In this prospective study, patients received high- or low-intensity IMT for up to 2 ...
