Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Physiological Function and Clinical Outcomes After Lung Transplant
Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Physiological Function and Clinical Outcomes After Lung Transplant: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Mayo Clinic
30 participants
May 10, 2021
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The purpose of this research is to study the effect of training the inspiratory muscles (i.e. the muscle that allow you to breath-in) on exercise capacity, quality of life, and short-term clinical outcomes in patients post lung transplant.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria1
- \- All patients who undergo single- or double-lung transplant at Mayo Clinic Florida.
Exclusion Criteria4
- Patients who do not survive the intra-operative period during the transplant surgery.

- Patients undergoing multiorgan transplantation.
- Patients who are not willing to or who are unable to give written informed consent.

Interventions
Commercially available pressure-threshold device
Pulmonary function, lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide, inspiratory muscle strength, and diaphragm dimensions will be assessed in each patient. Each patient will also undergo a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), 6 minute walk test, and an inspiratory muscle endurance test
