Transcutaneous Electrical Diaphragmatic Stimulation in PMV Patients

NCT04281810 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 59

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Muscle atrophy and diaphragm dysfunction are common with prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV). Electrical stimulation has been shown to be beneficial in severe chronic heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, its effect on PMV is unclear. This study examined the effects of transcutaneous electrical diaphragmatic stimulation (TEDS) on respiratory muscle strength and weaning outcomes in patients with PMV.

Conditions

  • Mechanical Ventilation

Interventions

DEVICE

transcutaneous electric diaphragm stimulation

The electrodes were placed on the parasternal region beside the xiphoid process; and the sixth and seventh intercostal spaces in line with the mid-axillary line. TEDS was set as biphasic waves, frequency of 30 Hz, pulse width of 400 μs, and rise time of 0.7s.
