Rehabilitation Program for Weaning From Mechanical Ventilator

Mechanical Ventilation Complication Clinical Trial

Official title: Comprehensive Rehabilitation Program Versus Traditional Chest Physiotherapy for Weaning From Mechanical Ventilator

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Statement of the problem:

Are there any differences between comprehensive rehabilitation program consisted of (peripheral muscle training and functional training) combined with inspiratory muscle training and traditional chest physical therapy consisted of (percussion, mechanical vibration, positioning and modified postural drainage) combined with inspiratory muscle training on weaning from mechanical ventilation as a primary outcome, respiratory muscle strength, peripheral muscle strength and functional status in difficult and prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation as secondary outcomes?

Purpose of the study:

The aim of the present study will be to compare between the effect of comprehensive rehabilitation program combined with inspiratory muscle training and traditional chest physical therapy combined with inspiratory muscle training on weaning from mechanical ventilation as a primary outcome, inspiratory muscle strength, peripheral muscle strength, functional status as secondary outcomes.

Clinical Trial Description

Significance of the study Survival of critically ill patients has increased as a result of medical technology and interdisciplinary team cooperation.

Functional losses , reduced quality of life and survival , and increased healthcare costs are consequences of prolonged immobility in ICU.

The European Respiratory Society and European Society of Intensive Care Medicine task force has recommended a hierarchy of ICU mobilization based on progressively increasing exercise intensity; decubitus change and functional positioning , passive mobilization , active- assisted and active exertion , cycloegonometry in bed , sitting in bed orthostatism , static walking , transferring from bed to chair, chair exertion and walking.

Failure to wean may have different etiologies such as underlying severe respiratory disease, respiratory muscle dysfunction , metabolic and endocrine disorders and cognitive dysfunction. Peripheral and respiratory muscles dysfunction is a consequence of prolonged mechanical ventilation and ICU- acquired weakness. Weaning from mechanical ventilator should be considered to be as early as possible to avoid complications caused by absence of spontaneous breathing and further muscles atrophy.

Targeted mobility therapy (TMT) , simulating comprehensive rehabilitation program that will be used in the present study, is a novel strategy for managing critically ill patients . This concept will work as a scientifically- driven, dynamic bundle of rehabilitation intervention that include inspiratory muscle strength training , bronchial hygiene , and active mobilization . This concept will guarantee the bet outcomes for critically ill patients with difficult and prolonged weaning as regards weaning success , days on mechanical ventilator , length of hospital stay and functional mobility. ;
