Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Assess lung aeration using the Lung Ultrasound Score (LUS) before the first care and after the last care | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluate the tracheostomy tube indwelling time by recording the tracheostomy cannula in days, from the day of cannula placement until decannulation;Evaluate the length of hospitalization by recording the number of days in which the patient remains hospitalized until hospital discharge;Record the rate of adverse events that occurred in both groups (intervention and control);Record the rate of complications that arise in both groups (intervention and control);Record the need for oxygen supplementation in both groups (intervention and control);Assess peripheral oxygen saturation using a digital oximeter daily for ten minutes until hospital discharge;Assess lung function, forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in the first second, using spirometry before the first care and after the last care;Assess respiratory muscle strength using a vacuum gauge before the first service and after the last service;Assess the comfort level of therapy using the visual analogue comfort scale (VASC) after each physiotherapeutic session;Evaluate the usability of the lung expansion device using the system usability scale after each physiotherapeutic session | — |
