Effects of respiratory training on ventilation potential and extubation time in patients with tracheotomy: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis

BACKGROUND: In the early treatment of critical patients, tracheotomy is often performed to improve ventilation. Clinical practices usually start respiratory training after the artificial airway is removed. It is still controversial whether respiratory training during tube occlusion has effects on patients’ ventilation potential and tube occlusion time. Therefore, this study used Meta-analysis to evaluate the effects of respiratory training on patients’ ventilation potential and tube occlusion time during tracheotomy in patients with tube occlusion, so as to provide evidence for rehabilitation treatment. METHODS: Wanfang, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, the Chongqing VIP Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched through the computer and the randomized controlled trials of respiratory training on ventilation potential and extubation time in patients experiencing tracheotomy were collected as well. The searching time is limited to October 2021. The language restrictions are Chinese and English. Meta-analysis is performed by using RevMan5.4. RESULTS: The results of this meta-analysis will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication. CONCLUSION: This study will provide the latest evidence for the rehabilitation training of patients who underwent tracheotomy. OSF REGISTRATION NUMBER: DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/6UCQF.
