Impact of inspiratory muscle training on diaphragmatic mobility and arterial blood gases in patients undergoing haemodialysis
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF THERAPY AND REHABILITATION(2021)
Abstract
Background/Aims Impairment of respiratory muscle function is common in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing haemodialysis, and is manifested by decreased oxygenation and physical function. The purpose of this study was to analyse the impact of training with incentive spirometer on mobility of the diaphragm, arterial blood gases and functional capacity in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing haemodialysis. Methods A pre-post research design was implemented. A total of 30 patients undergoing haemodialysis for chronic kidney disease received incentive spirometer training intradialysis three sessions a week for 8 weeks. Outcome measures were the amount of diaphragmatic mobility measured by ultrasonography, the levels of arterial partial pressure of oxygen, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide, oxygen saturation percentages and the distance walked in 6 minutes. Results Significant improvement from pre-treatment to post-treatment measurements occurred in all outcome measures, with P<0.05. Conclusions Incentive spirometer training should be recommended to be a part of daily routine of patients with chronic kidney disease who are undergoing haemodialysis to decrease respiratory and physical function impairments.
