| Brief Title ICMJE | Diaphragm Training Post-Cardiac Surgery | ||||||||
| Official Title ICMJE | Randomized Controlled Trial on the Diaphragm Training With Threshold for Patient With Post-Cardiac Surgery Diaphragmatic Paralysis | ||||||||
| Brief Summary | Diaphragm paralysis is a possible complication of cardiac surgery. The spontaneous recovery of the diaphragm mobility is slow and partial or absent in most cases. We hypothesize that a program of diaphragm muscle training by means of the Threshold variable resistance device could improve the rate of complete diaphragm mobility recovery in a shorter time period. Patient with post-cardiosurgical diaphragm paralysis will be random assigned to the specific training protocol or to a generic non-training physical activity. |
||||||||
| Detailed Description | Inclusion criteria: All consecutive patients aged from 18 to 80 years old with RX-defined diaphragm paralysis post a major cardiosurgery intervention such as coronary bypass, valve substitution or both. Exclusion criteria: Acute cardiac failure, COPD, chronic respiratory failure with indication to home oxygen therapy, neuromuscular diseases. Outcome measures: MIP, MEP, diaphragm function recovery assessed by chest X-ray, lung function tests. |
