Abstract

The study aimed to verify the effects of a skeletal muscle training with intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Itis a case report of two patients who underwent a program of skeletal muscle training. Nutritional and skeletal muscleassessments were performed during the hospital period, considering the period of weaning from mechanical ventilator,and ICU and hospital discharges. The training program started at the admission in ICU. After the evaluation of thepatients, passive exercises were performed until the period of weaning. From weaning period until the hospital discharge,active exercises, tests of muscle strength and goniometry were conducted. As results, we found improvement in musclestrength and width of movement with the training. Weight, despite of the malnutrition found in both cases, did not suffersignificant reduction. The study showed the importance of muscle training with critically ill patients to minimize skeletalmuscle disorders due to prolonged bed rest.
