| Popis: | 99 The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the inspiratory muscle trainer (IMT) on the weaning profile of intubated patients in ICU. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design. Two intensive care units in a medical center in southern Taiwan are set respectively as the experimental and control units. The patients, who were assigned in the control unit (n=52), received the general weaning training (i.e., the T-piece trial for 2 hours daily). The patients, who were assigned to the experimental unit (n=48), were provided with the intervention of IMT, in addition to the general weaning training. The IMT was set to the level of 30% Pimax of the patient and was applied for 20 minutes daily until extubation or the respiratory function was deteriorating. The levels of Pimax and RSBI before and after the intervention were collected. The data were analyzed by using SPSS 14.0. The results revealed that, compared to the control group, IMT improved Pimax continuously across the training period in the intervention group (p .05). This pilot study provides preliminary results of the effect of the inspiratory muscle trainer (IMT) for intubated patients in ICU. The respiratory muscle rehabilitation training is helpful for intubated patients in ICU, especially for the Pimax level. It is suggested that the clinicians may applied IMT as a standard rehabilitative care for intubated patients in ICU. Yet the effect of IMT to successful weaning requires further research to determine. |
