Commentaries on Twitter
In 101 patients on MV, inspiratory muscle training vs T-piece led to better maximal inspiratory pressure, weaning success, and 60d-survival.

Inspiratory muscle training in patients on prolonged weaning increases muscle strength and is associated with a higher 60d survival rate and successful weaning. Another contribution from Brazilian physiotherapy! Kudos to @brunoguimaraesp and team! https://t.co/LEw7vGSZey
