Duarte, G; Bethiol, A; Ratti, L; Franco, G; Moreno, R; Tonella, R; Falcão, ALStudy design: Retrospective case series. Objectives: To compare individuals with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) submitted to transcutaneous electrical diaphragmatic stimulation (TEDS) or a standard weaning protocol (SWP) according to the following variables: invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) time, ventilator weaning time, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay, and overall hospital length of stay.

Inspiratory Muscle Training in the Intensive Care Unit: A New Perspective
Tonella, R; Ratti, L; Delazari, L; Junior, C; Lima da Silva, P; Herran, A; dos Santos Faez, D; Saad, I; Castilho de Figueiredo, L; Moreno, RBACKGROUND: Prolonged use of mechanical ventilation (MV) leads to weakening of the respiratory muscles, especially in patients subjected to sedation, but this effect seems to be preventable or more quickly reversible using respiratory muscle training. The aims of the study were to assess variations in respiratory and hemodinamic parameters with electronic inspiratory muscle training (EIMT) in tracheostomized pa...
