Summary

Muscle atrophy and diaphragm dysfunction are common complication in patients with prolong mechanical ventilator (PMV) and is associated with increased rate of weaning failure and days of hospitalization. Electrical stimulation (ES) has been shown to be beneficial in patients with severe chronic heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of ES on skeletal muscle function, pulmonary mechanics and hospitalization outcomes in patients with PMV.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

electrical stimulation (high frequency)

Participants will receive muscular electrical stimulation (75Hz) on quadriceps muscle for 20 min/session, twice daily for 10 days

OTHER

electrical stimulation (low frequency)

Participants will receive muscular electrical stimulation (35Hz) on quadriceps muscle for 20 min/session, twice daily for 10 days.

OTHER

sham group

Participants will receive similar electrical stimulation (ES) procedure as those in intervention group but with ES machine power off.
