There is much more to consider than just the external load during inspiratory muscle training for patients with weaning difficulties! Come and discuss with me why, tomorrow at ESICM #Lives2024 - Poster station G (12h45-13h45)

The Hopkins ICU Rehab literature list is updated again! More than 400 pages including titles and links! Early Mobilization, sedation, ICUAW, delirium, patients' experiences, and more! Thanks to Dale Needham, MD, PhD icurehabnetwork.org/resources/

It's an honor to present the results of our multicentre project. Next step RCT? 🫁🫀 Vall d'Hebron ESICM #ramonycajal #granollers #valdecilla #miguelservet #clinicosancarlos

It was great to meet such a group of motivated and energetic ICU physiotherapists at ESICM #LIVES2024! Hopefully more meetings to come!

Similar Weaning Success Rate with High-Intensity and Sham Inspiratory Muscle Training. Results have major implications for clinical practice and for design of intervention and control groups in future trials of IMT in patients with weaning difficulties. atsjournals.org/doi/10.1164/rc…

Dr George Ntoumenopoulos #IStandWithUkraine 🇺🇦 Yes indeed. I think we also trained our control group. We have more data supporting this. Coming soon!

🚨 New study alert! A recent RCT shows that both high-intensity & sham IMT lead to significant improvements in respiratory muscle strength (PImax) & weaning success in ICU patients with weaning difficulties. 🔗 Read more: atsjournals.org/doi/10.1164/rc… #Weaning #IMT #CriticalCare

Angelo Roncalli Dr George Ntoumenopoulos #IStandWithUkraine 🇺🇦 Indeed very relevant question. We were surprised to see that even 10% MIP constituted a high intensity stimulus. We have data to support this. It depends on breathing instructions. We will share the data soon!

Respiratory muscle dysfunction can be both a cause and consequence of respiratory failure. It is often reversible and should be diagnosed and treated. This review covers available assessment and treatment options in acute and chronic respiratory failure. bit.ly/3XZBeVa

Respiratory muscle dysfunction can be both a cause & consequence of respiratory failure, but it's often reversible! 🌬️ This new review explores diagnostic tools & treatment strategies to support these vital muscles. More: ap.lc/mPVup Marine Van Hollebeke Diego Poddighe
