Introduction: Prolonged hospital stay decreased functional capacity and may negatively impact the hospital stay, the endotracheal intubation rate and morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TMI in the prevention and treatment of complications in patients with risk factors for prolonged hospitalization Methods: This study proposes a randomized, triple-blind (patient-evaluator analyst) with TMI and physiotherapy compared with SHAM group TMI and physiotherapy. TMI group held training with
approximate imposed load of 50% of maximal inspiratory pressure, 30 raids, twice a day, seven days a week. The SHAM group held, will hold the same training protocol without charge. The peripheral and respiratory muscle strength, and functional capacity and adverse events will also be observed variables. Discussion: The adoption of preventive therapeutic measures appear to be feasible in maintaining the functional status and reduction of complications related to prolonged hospitalization. In spite of the encouraging outlook
generated by the preliminary data from this study the procedure requires further study, multicentred and with larger sample.
