The effect of respiratory training on lung function in intensive care unit patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Puntos clave

• Lung function significantly improves with respiratory training in patients within intensive care units, indicating potential rehabilitation benefits.
• The meta-analysis reports a 25% increase in lung function metrics associated with structured respiratory training in ICU populations.
• This systematic review evaluates multiple studies and synthesizes findings to present comprehensive evidence on respiratory training.
• Highlights the need for integrating respiratory training into patient care protocols to enhance recovery outcomes in ICU settings.
