Impact of Inspiratory Muscle Training Post-Burn

Résumé succinct

Pulmonary dysfunction can be developed as a result of complications caused by direct thermal injury to the respiratory tract, smoke irritations, and respiratory tract infection. Although the survival rates of patients with burn injury have increased because of improved acute management, pulmonary complications have continued to be the main cause of mortality in patients with burns. The patients who survive suffer from persistent physiological impairments, limited aerobic capacity, increased skeletal muscle catabolism, and decreased muscle strength/endurance. Rehabilitation strategies for the long-term recovery in patients with burns aim to improve the physical function and independence in daily activities.
