Burns, Children, Respiratory Function Impaired
Conditions
Keywords
chest burn, respiratory muscle strength, lung function
Brief summary
8 weeks of inspiratory muscle training combined with a pulmonary rehabilitation program increases respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, functional capacity, and quality of life in chest burned children.
Detailed description
The primary purpose of this study is to see how an inspiratory muscle training program along with a pulmonary rehabilitation program improved respiratory muscle strength, respiratory function and quality of life after children with chest burns were discharged from the hospital.
Interventions

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| maximal expiratory pressure | 1 week after hospital discharge | performed using an electronic respiratory pressure meter |
| Pulmonary function test, forced vital capacity | 1 week after hospital discharge | performed using a spirometer, the FVC (forced vital capacity) was recorded. |
| Pulmonary function test, FEV1/FVC ratio | 1 week after hospital discharge | performed using a spirometer, (forced expiratory volume in the first second/ forced vital capacity) FEV1/FVC ratio was recorded. |
| maximal inspiratory pressure | 1 week after hospital discharge | performed using an electronic respiratory pressure meter |
| Pulmonary function test, forced expiratory volume in the first second | 1 week after hospital discharge | performed using a spirometer, the FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in the first second) was recorded. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Health related Quality of Life | 1 week after hospital discharge | assessed using the validated cross-culturally adapted version of the Pediatric Quality of life, The Peds-QL is a 23-item scale. Participants scored on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (never an issue) to 4 (almost always a problem). Following that, the item scores are decoded and linearly transformed to a 100-point scale. The psychosocial functioning summary score and physical functioning summary score were used for this study. A score of 100 indicates the highest functional status, while a score of 0 indicates the lowest functional status. |
| Functional exercise capacity | 1 week after hospital discharge | assessed using the six-minute walk test |
