Interventions

This is a randomized controlled clinical trial, with open-label masking. The experimental group will consist of 40 patients admitted to an intensive care unit (20 tracheostomized and 20 intubated pati
s inclusion in the study. Initially, data will be collected using a specific form, including: demographic information (age, sex, and ethnicity)
clinical history (ICU admission diagnosis, previous comorbidities, smoking and alcohol use history)
prior functional status (Glasgow Coma Scale, Johns Hopkins Mobility Scale)
current clinical data (ICU length of stay, duration of mechanical ventilation until inclusion in the study, use of muscle relaxants, level of consciousness, vital signs such as heart rate, respiratory
relevant laboratory test results (arterial blood gas, serum electrolytes, blood count)
ICU-related complications (presence of ventilator-associated pneumonia, delirium, or multiple organ dysfunction syndrome)
use of medications

Eligibility

Age
18 Years to No maximum

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Age 18 years or older; both sexes; hemodynamically stable; using an artificial airway device (orotracheal tube or tracheostomy); on mechanical ventilation with ventilatory parameters favorable for the initiation of the weaning process (PSV mode)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Participants with any type of neuromuscular disease; with contraindications to respiratory exercise for respiratory muscle training; dependent on controlled modes of mechanical ventilation; and under deep sedation

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected that there will be a greater gain in respiratory muscle strength in the experimental group, as verified through manovacuometry after a period of respiratory muscle training—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to observe a shorter duration of mechanical ventilation, reduced length of hospital stay, and lower incidence of pulmonary complications.—
