S2E35 - Training the Diaphragm Before Major Surgery
Welcome to Season 2 of AMC Clinical Deep Dive!
Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) is a high-yield intervention backed by NHMRC Level I evidence. This episode explores how 2–4 weeks of pre-operative training reduces postoperative pneumonia (NNT ≈4) and shortens hospital stays. Learn the protocol: high-intensity loading (60–80% MIP) using hand-held threshold devices. We cover critical safety contraindications, including spontaneous pneumothorax and unstable asthma. Master identifying high-risk patients (age >65, COPD, smokers) to deliver a safe, evidence-based management plan that examiners expect.

Pro Tip: In your OSCE, explicitly state that IMT has NHMRC Level I evidence for reducing pneumonia. Mentioning that the goal is to prevent atelectasis and bronchitis while specifying the contraindication of spontaneous pneumothorax will demonstrate the high-level safety and clinical knowledge required to pass the management domain.
