Abstract

Objective: To observe the role of percutaneous tracheotomy (PT) + early progressive activity training in helping the recovery of neuromuscular function in mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit. Methods: Sixty-six mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit of our hospital from February to December 2024 were selected as the research subjects and randomly divided into two groups by a digital table. One group (33 cases) received conventional rehabilitation training based on PT treatment (control group), and the other group received PT + early progressive activity training (33 cases, observation group). The changes in neuromuscular function and Barthel index of the two groups of patients were observed. Results: The neuromuscular function assessment of the observation group was higher than that of the control group after treatment, with P<0.05. The Barthel index of the observation group was also higher than that of the control group after treatment, with P<0.05. Conclusion: Early progressive activity training for mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit is helpful for improving the patients' neuromuscular function and activity ability, which is beneficial to the patients' rehabilitation.
