About this study

Official title: Short Effects of Speci|c Inspiratory Muscle Training and Early Mobilization in Prolonged Mechanically Ventilated Patients

Using mechanical ventilation for more than 18 hours can affect respiratory muscle and postural muscle control, making it difficult to wean off the ventilator and reducing mobility. The aim of this study is to:

  1. Compare the effects of respiratory muscle strength training and early mobilization on dynamic lung compliance and maximum inspiratory pressure before and after a 7-day training period.
  2. Compare the success rate of weaning and the duration of weaning between the respiratory muscle strength training and the early mobilization program.
Read the detailed description

The prolonged mechanical ventilation results in difficulty weaning off the ventilator. Inspiratory muscle strength and early mobilization can contribute to the expansion of lung parenchyma and facilitate success in weaning off respiratory support. Thus, this study aimed to explain the impact of inspiratory muscle training and early mobilization on dynamic lung compliance, spontaneous breathing time, and success rate in patients who have undergone mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours.

What participants receive

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

  • Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) groupOther

    The IMT group receives inspiratory muscle training of 50%MIP, 6 breaths/set 10 sets/day for 7 days combined with conventional chest physiotherapy including; percussion, vibration, postural draining, positioning, and passive range of motion.

  • Early mobilization (EM) groupOther

    The ER group received active exercise in sitting, standing, and marching 30 minutes/day for 7 days with conventional chest physical therapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP)

    MIP measurement using manometer, the device can be attached directly to the ETT or tracheostomy tube, and measures the pressure generated by patient on inhalation against a closed system.

    Measured: baseline and day 7 after program

  2. Dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn)

    Dynamic lung compliance refers to the ratio of the change in volume to the change in pressure over a tidal breath, with the pressure measured at moments of zero flow during breathing that recording from the mechanical ventilation

    Measured: baseline and day 7 after program

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Weaning time

    Duration of weaning time (hour)

    Measured: baseline and day 7 after program

  2. Weaning outcome

    measure weaning success rate

    Measured: baseline and day 7 after program

  3. Grip strength

    using hand grip dynamometer

    Measured: baseline and day 7 after program

  4. chest wall expansion

    measure by using tape at the axillary, xiphoid process, and umbrilical level

    Measured: baseline and day 7 after program

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) group and Early mobilization (EM) group in people with Ventilator Dependent, run by Prince of Songkla University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 10 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Nov 2024. 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 Thailand. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Saikaew Chuachan, Msc.PT (0849988665, saikaew.ch@psu.ac.th), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) (time frame: baseline and day 7 after program). The study lists 2 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 6 Nov 2024.
