Core Tip

Core Tip: For cardiac surgery patients, the use of inspiratory muscle training could reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications according to previous research. Our study demonstrated that it could shorten the duration of postoperative hospitalization and thus may decrease overall costs. More research is needed to explore the effect of inspiratory muscle training on mechanical ventilation time and length of intensive care unit stay.
