About

To assess the correlations among the physical functional performance, muscle strength, respiratory muscle strength and the ventilator weaning rate.

Full description

To assess the correlations among the physical functional performance, muscle strength, respiratory muscle strength and the ventilator weaning rate. Investigators use the DEMMI and FSS-ICU to evaluation the physical functional performance. And MRC score and hand dynamometer to record the muscle strength. The weaning parameters include Pi, PE, RSI,minute ventilation, tidal volume and cuff leak will be recorded. After the participant enters the Respiration Care Center, Doctor and physical therapist evaluate the consciousness and meet the inclusion criteria and the participant will received the first evaluation. The second evaluation will be held before the ventilator weaning timing.

Enrollment: 50 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 20+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• respiratory failure with mechanical ventilator use
• 48 hours after transferring to respiratory care center
• consciousness clear and can obey orders
• vital signs stable

Exclusion criteria

• conscious disturbance
• neuromuscular disease
• stroke
• fracture
• patho fracture

Trial design

50 participants in 1 patient group

ventilator group

Description:

It's a observational study. Participants entry the Respiratory Care Center and are evaluated. If the participant meet the inclusion criteria, the first assessments will be collected. After the weaning training, the second assessment will be collected before the the endotracheal tube is removed.
