Key result
Short term inspiratory muscle training was evaluated in 17 hospitalized COPD patients, but the abstract only reports baseline demographic characteristics without providing outcome data.
Why the study?
To evaluate the effects of short-term inspiratory muscle training in hospitalized COPD patients on blood pressure, heart rate, PFT values, and functional capacity.
Does short term inspiratory muscle training improve blood pressure, heart rate, PFT values, and functional capacity in hospitalized COPD patients?
RCT (n=17)
Does short term inspiratory muscle training improve blood pressure, heart rate, PFT values, and functional capacity in hospitalized COPD patients?
Without reported outcomes, this RCT offers no guidance for IMT in COPD; leaves open its short-term effects on PFT and capacity.
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD) is a progressive irreversible lung disorder characterised by air way limitation which worsens on expiration and may additionally lead to compression of small airway ensuring air trapping in the lungs and subsequent hyperinflation. Objective: to evaluate the effects of short term muscle training in hospitalised chronic obstuctive pulmanory disease patients in terms of blood pressure heart rate PFT values functional cappacity. Methods: This study was a randomized control trial. A total number of participants participated in this study was 17 (n=17) the purpose of the study was explained to the participants in their vernacular language and a written informed consent was obtained from all the subjects. Result: value<0.05 was considered as significant. This shows that majority of the subjects in the sample are of the age group "51-60 years” followed by "61-70 years” 12(70.59%) subjects in the sample are males, mean BMI of subjects in the sample is 26.29 ± 5.23(kg/m2 ). 8(47.06%) of 17 subjects in the sample had normal BMI followed by 5(29.41%) had obesity and 4(23.53%) had overweight. mean respiratory rate of subjects in the sample is 24.06 ± 3.58.

Naik et al. (2021) conducted an RCT in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) (n=17). Short term inspiratory muscle training was evaluated on Blood pressure, heart rate, pulmonary function test (PFT) values, and functional capacity. Short term inspiratory muscle training was evaluated in 17 hospitalized COPD patients, but the abstract only reports baseline demographic characteristics without providing outcome data.
