Effect of Abdominal Weight Training Assisted by Cough Assist Machine on Lung Function in the Patients With Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation

Liu Shih Feng·interventional·Posted Mar 25, 2022·Updated Mar 25, 2022

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating cough machine (CM) and abdominal weight training (AWT) for PMV. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The patients with prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) have the risk of ineffective coughing and infection due to diaphragm weakness, making it more difficult to wean. This study aimed to explore the intervention of abdominal weight training (AWT) with/ without cough machine (CM) on lung function, respiratory muscle strength and cough ability in these patients.

Interventions

cough machine (CM)device

Cough machine training is based on the cough assist machine Comfort Cough II (CC20), in which the inhalation and exhalation times are adjusted to 1-3 seconds, and the positive and negative pressure of the lower pressure 10-15 cmH2O is gradually increased to 30-40 cmH2O for the first time, 4-6 cycles/time, repeated 4-6 times, twice a day, five days a week, until the subject is weaned off the ventilator or transferred out of the ward. A modified Borg scale was used as an indicator of perceived dyspnea.

abdominal weight training (AWT)device

abdominal weight exercise training (sandbag) is maintained for 30 minutes; the starting weight is 1kg to 2kg, and the previous day's weight is maintained each day as well as adding 0.5kg daily.
