the number of patients in need of invasive ventilatory support has been growing every year and, therefore, the expenses for this type of therapy have been burdening the coffers of public and private institutions. this is particularly true for patients on prolonged weaning where spending in the US alone amounts to $ 1.5 billion a year. for this, one of the main treatments to reduce weaning time is inspiratory muscle training (tmi). there is no specific equipment on the market to perform this type of treatment in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation (vm). tmi is performed in an improvised way on patients submitted to vm with equipment originally designed for patients on spontaneous ventilation. the analogic series / digital series? weaning time reducer / inspiratory muscle exerciser? weaning time reducer® comes to fill this gap by providing tmi without having to disconnect the patient from the respirator, in addition to providing adequate resistances and adjustments for this specific population.
