Overview
Brief Summary
Investigators will assess the effect of exercise on markers of inflammation and protein catabolism. This research study will further our understanding of how treating Chronic Critical illness (CCI) - related respiratory muscle weakness with strength training can not only improve muscle function, but also potentially blunt the inflammation and catabolism of Peristent Inflammation/Immunosuppression and Catabolism (PICS).
Detailed Description
In this research study, investigators will assign study participants to two groups: high intensity inspiratory muscle training and low intensity inspiratory muscle training group. This research study will last up to 28 days in 24 mechanically ventilated patients with CCI. The goal is to determine if the research participants can respond to a training program by improving weaning outcomes from the ventilator. This will be determined by measurement of breathing muscle strength with magnetic stimulation, measurement of diaphragm thickness with ultrasound, inspiratory muscle training, and blood and urine samples.

Arms & Interventions
IMST Intervention group
IMST will be conducted 5 days per week by study staff using a threshold inspiratory muscle training device (Respironics model 735). Prior to training, the tracheal cuff pressure is assessed to ensure no air leakage and appropriate inflation. The IMST training takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. To perform IMST, FiO2 is increased for 2 minutes prior to each training bout to maintain oxygen saturation more than 92%.
Intervention: Blood and Urine samples

SHAM group
SHAM training will also be conducted five days per week with an identical training device that has been modified by removing the valve leaflet, which essentially removes all inspiratory loading by the device. The modified SHAM device makes a whistling sound during inspiration, which enhances the sham effect. For SHAM treatment, supplemental oxygen FiO2 will be increased for two minute prior to each bout.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
A Change in Diaphragm Strength From Baseline as an Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training (IMST) Intervention and Sham Patients
Time Frame: Day 1, Day 3, Day 5, Day 7, Day 9, Day 11, Day 13, Day 14, Day 15, Day 17, Day 19, Day 21, Day 23, Day 25, Day 28
In this randomized, interventional study, 24 CCI patients will be assigned to either a sham group or to receive IMST for up to 28 days. Evaluation of diaphragm/inspiratory muscle strength and muscle thickness will be made with three techniques: 1) non-volitional magnetic stimulation of the phrenic nerves, 2) noninvasive measurement of diaphragm thickness with ultrasound and 3) the standard, clinical method of measuring maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP). Investigators hypothesize that IMST will lead to improvements in all three measures. This study will provide information about possible effective respiratory muscle rehabilitation techniques that are likely to lead to reduced time patients will require mechanical ventilation and improved MIP and weaning outcome in long-term, failure to wean patients
