Excited to share this collab with my colleagues in Ireland: updated SR&MA of Respiratory Muscle Training for ICU patients. Only included IMT with measurable resistance. Want your patient off the vent faster? IMT is your friend.
Great work Eimear McCormack!!

What is the effect of measurable respiratory muscle training on respiratory muscle strength in mechanically ventilated adults in intensive care units? A systematic review and meta-analysis
Respiratory muscle weakness, associated with mechanical ventilation during critical illness, is well established. Respiratory muscle strength training…

Delighted to have our systematic review of #IMT in ventilated patients published in @auscriticalcare.bsky.social @berniebissett.bsky.social @rcsi.bsky.social
New RCSI research reviews evidence for respiratory muscle training in mechanically ventilated intensive care patients.

Findings show the training improves respiratory muscle strength and may reduce ventilation and weaning time.
