Abdominal Weight Training Assisted by Cough Assist Machine on Lung Function

Taiwan40 participantsStarted 2019-08-21

Plain-language 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.
