Unlabelled: Although inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been used in outpatient settings for patients who recovered from COVID-19 respiratory failure, little data exist to support earlier implementation in acute care hospitals. This study aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of IMT during the acute disease phase of COVID-19.
Design Setting And Patients: Sixty patients presenting with COVID-19 to a single academic medical center were randomized to control or intervention groups using systematic randomization.
