Overview
Brief Summary
This study evaluates the pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength and peripheral muscle strength in patients with burn injury on the week that they will be discharge from the hospital. Healthy subjects will be evaluated for pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength and peripheral muscle strength.
Detailed Description
Burn injures have adverse effect on the respiratory system.In addition to burn injury prolonged hospitalization may increase the ratio of respiratory complications. But, there are no information in the literature about pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength and peripheral muscle strength in patients with burn injury. Especially, when the patients are discharged from the hospital, it is not known whether the patients are at the same level in terms of pulmonary functions respiratory muscle strength and peripheral muscle strength with healthy individuals. This study will assess pulmonary functions respiratory muscle strength and peripheral muscle strength in patients with burn injury compared to healthy subjects.

- •Treatment by an inpatient
- •able and willing to complete the informed consent process.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second
Time Frame: 15 minutes
Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second is the volume exhaled during the first second of a forced expiratory maneuver started from the level of total lung capacity. After three trial, the best FVC value is the outcome.
Forced Vital Capacity
Time Frame: 15 minutes
is the total amount of air exhaled during the test. After three trial, the best forced vital capacity value is the outcome
Maximal Inspiratory Pressure
Time Frame: 15 minutes
is a measure of the strength of inspiratory muscles, primarily the diaphragm. It is obtained by having the patient inhale as strongly as possible against a mouthpiece. After three trial, the best value is the outcome.
Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second / Forced Vital Capacity
Time Frame: 15 minutes
The ratio of Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second / Forced Vital Capacity. This formule is calculated by measuring device. After three trial, the best value is the outcome.
Maximal Expiratory Pressure
Time Frame: 15 minutes
a measure of the strength of respiratory muscles, obtained by having the patient exhale as strongly as possible against a mouthpiece. After three trial, the best value is the outcome.
Secondary Outcomes
- forced expiratory flow(15 minutes)
- Functional Exercise Capacity(10 minutes)
- Peak Expiratory Flow(15 minutes)
- Peripheral strength(15 minutes)
- Pain severity(15 minutes)
