Threshold Inspiratory Trainer Versus Trigger Sensitivity Adjustment on Weaning From Mechanical Ventilation
Respiratory Failure
About this trial
This is an interventional supportive care trial for Respiratory Failure
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Their age ranged from 50-70 years. The patients were diagnosed with acute respiratory failure duo to COPD exacerbation and need mechanical ventilation support for more than 48 hours. They were vitally stable and can tolerate pressure support PEEP less than 8Cm H2O , SpO2 more than 90). All patients were conscious and responded to verbal command. Exclusion Criteria: Unstable hemodynamics, unstable neurological problems, lack of attention and cooperation skipping more than five training sessions.
