Rest in the treatment of respiratory muscle fatigue

  • Conference paper
Respiratory Muscles in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Rehabilitation ((CURRENT REHAB))

Summary

Conditions allowing respiratory muscle relaxation in patients needing mechanical respiratory support are examined. The survey includes evaluation of respiratory effort in machine-initiated and patient-initiated modes of mechanical ventilation.

Reference is also made to ongoing studies on the measurement of inspiratory flow rate in pressure-cycled ventilators, rest treatment of the inspiratory muscles in COPD and supplementation of respiratory muscle training with cuirasse treatment at the patient’s home.
