Acquired pneumonia is a sever medical condition that addressed as life-threatening issue require intensive care. Medical Breather device permits activating and strengthening of both inspiratory and expiratory musculatures; thus, it could be useful for pneumatic patients. The aim of the study is to investigate breather effect on hospital stay in pneumatic patients.
Sixty participants diagnosed with acquired pneumonia '30 women, 30 men; selected from chest department of Kasr Alaini Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Cairo University. They were randomly allocated into equal groups; Group A received respiratory training via incentive spirometer, and traditional chest physiotherapy; and Group B received respiratory training via Breather, and traditional chest physiotherapy. both received 3 session daily/2 weeks. Diaphragmatic excursion, Respiratory Distress Observation Scale, and ICU discharge were assessed pre and post treatment.
Careful recruitment of participants based on the study criteria by both ICU resident and PT consultant. Identified inclusive criteria include conscious both genders aged 30- 40 years old with BMI ranged from 25 to5 29.9 Kg/m2 had an acquired pneumonia with a mild hypoxemia (O2 saturation was 90 - 95%). Aware participants whom cooperated through accurate understand and perform instructions. Excluding patients through identified inclusive criteria that if they had a history of any malignant tumors, hearing impairment or mental disorder, auto-immune diseases, a history of any surgical transplantation, unstable hemodynamics, rib fracture, a history of neuromuscular disease, spinal injuries, or BMI > 30 Kg/m2. Also, patients receiving mechanical ventilation, or whom require MV, but contraindicated for rehabilitation i.e., pulmonary emboli were excluded.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Incentive Spirometer group | Active Comparator | The respiratory muscle training program has the following parameters: Duration: 20 minutes per session, Intensity: Clinical adjustment of training intensity based on actual participants' status across session time, holding time, and repetitions. Frequency: 30 per set, with each is 5-6 times. The procedure for the respiratory muscle training program is as follows: a deep slow inspiration while lips fitted around mouthpiece. Visual feedback is provided to the patient, such as a ball rising to a preset marker, to motivate them during the exercise. The patient is instructed to get the planned flow at preset amount. The patient is asked to maintain breathing in along 2-3 seconds. These guidelines should be followed during respiratory muscle training |
|
| The Breather Respiratory Muscle Trainer group | Active Comparator | Utilizing a pre-session checklist can improve the success rate of using the breather for respiratory muscle training. The following items should be included in the checklist: Check the patient's posture, ensuring that they are in a comfortable crook lying or sitting position, initial easiest resistances by manipulating both dials to one, ensure the patient is using the diaphragmatic breathing technique, as this is crucial for the proper use of the breather, and make sure that the patient secures lips on mouthpiece. |

| Diaphragmatic excursion | measured diaphragmatic movement for each subject by using the Diaphragmatic ultrasound at 3.5-5MHz probe that aimed at midclavicular line under rib cage aiming posterior 3rd of hemi diaphragm. | Pre and post treatment after 2 weeks |
| Respiratory distress observation scale (RDOS) | evaluate severity and discomfort experienced by patients who are unable to communicate their dyspnea levels during monitoring for palliative sedation therapy . RDOS score of less than 3 indicates that the patient is breathing comfortably, d) an RDOS value ≥3 means respiratory distress that require palliative measures, and e) higher RDOS scores indicate a worsening of the patient's condition. | Pre and post treatment after 2 weeks |
| The National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2) | ) scoring system for evaluating hospital discharge. It measures six physiological items; respiration and pulse rates, O2 saturation, systolic blood pressure, consciousness level or recent onset confusion, also temperature 9. Each parameter is allocated a score of 0, 1, 2, or 3, elevated values indicate that is far away from normal values.
