Searches of MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Cochrane databases were performed from 2000 to March 2026. Eligible studies included adult patients requiring\u2009&gt;48\u2009h of mechanical ventilation who underwent volitional EMST following extubation. Due to anticipated limited evidence, all quantitative study designs were included. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle\u2013Ottawa scale and the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist. Meta-analysis was not performed due to heterogeneity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Three studies met inclusion criteria, including two from the same research group: one case series (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20092) and two single-group cohort studies (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200950 and\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200913). All studies reported improvements in swallowing measures, alongside increases in respiratory muscle strength and cough flow. However, EMST was either combined with inspiratory muscle training or other therapies, and no randomised controlled trials were identified. Methodological quality was low, with high risk of bias and absence of comparator groups.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Evidence supporting EMST for PED in survivors of critical illness is extremely limited and of low methodological quality.
