Condition: Tracheostomy Complication · Diaphragm Disease · Sponsor: Hospital Dr. Franco Ravera Zunino
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. Both groups will be compared in terms of decannulation time, ICU length of stay, hospital days, and quality of life survey scores. The results of this study will help optimize the management of tracheostomized patients locally and nationally, reducing economic costs for both the country and the patients, and improving their quality of life, contributing to some health objectives for the 2011-2020 decade.
