Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:To clarify the effect of inspiratory muscle training on inspiratory muscle strength, lung function, and functional capacity in hemodialysis patients. Methods: Randomized controlled trials evaluating inspiratory muscle strength, lung function, and functional capacity in hemodialysis patients were searched. The search was conducted in Medline, Web of Science, and Scopus between August and December 2024. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration’s risk of bias tool-2. Results: 316 Studies were analyzed, and 12 were included, involving 460 patients. The intervention consisted of training the respiratory muscles using linear loading devices, varying between 30% and 70% of Maximum Inspiratory Pressure, for 4 to 24 weeks. One study was classified as high risk of bias, three with some concerns, and eight low risk of bias. Inspiratory muscle strength increased significantly in the intervention groups. Significant changes concerning lung function were observed only in some groups. Considerable variations in the distance covered in the 6-MWT test were also found in some studies. Conclusions: Inspiratory muscle training appears to influence several outcomes. Replicating randomized controlled trials with standardized protocols and robust assessment methods is necessary to more effectively establish their effectiveness.
