Summary
This study looks at whether respiratory physiotherapy (breathing exercises) can prevent or reduce thinning of the diaphragm muscle in intensive care patients who are on a breathing machine. About 66 adults who have been on a ventilator for at least 5 days will take part. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure diaphragm thickness and see if the therapy helps protect the muscle and make it easier to wean patients off the ventilator.
