First seen Apr 26, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding a type of stretching called proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) to standard breathing exercises helps patients get off a breathing machine faster. About 93 adults in the ICU who are stable and ready to start weaning will be split into three groups: one gets breathing training plus PNF, one gets breathing training only, and one gets usual care. The main goal is to see if the combination reduces the time until patients can breathe on their own for more than 48 hours.
