Standardization of IMT Dosage (UTIT) in Mechanical Ventilation.
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT): Respiratory rehabilitation training using a specific threshold loading device (POWERbreathe K5) with real-time feedback. The intervention aims to strengthen inspiratory muscles (diaphragm and intercostals). The daily dosage is calculated using the Total Inspiratory Work Unit (UTIT) formula, adjusted daily based on the patient's Negative Inspiratory Force (NIF).
Study summary
Respiratory muscle weakness prolongs mechanical ventilation (MV) and delays weaning. Currently, there is no standardized dosage for Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) in the ICU. This study aims to define an optimal IMT dosage using a new metric called "Total Inspiratory Work Unit" (UTIT), which integrates intensity, repetition, and frequency.
The study compares three daily dosage regimens (1,000 UTIT, 2,000 UTIT, and 3,000 UTIT) adjusted daily based on the patient's Negative Inspiratory Force (NIF). The goal is to determine the optimal dose-response relationship for improving inspiratory muscle strength (PiMax) and reducing the duration of mechanical ventilation.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Change in Maximal Inspiratory Pressure (Pimax) — From baseline (study entry) up to successful weaning, extubation, or ICU discharge (up to 30 days).
Change in maximal inspiratory pressure measured in cmH₂O using the POWERbreathe K5 device to evaluate inspiratory muscle strength from baseline to the end of the intervention. - Total Duration of Mechanical Ventilation — From the initiation of mechanical ventilation until successful extubation or ICU discharge (up to 30 days)
Total number of consecutive days a patient requires invasive mechanical ventilation support via endotracheal tube.
