Zapping muscles to free patients from breathing machines
NCT ID NCT07199036
Summary
This study tested whether gentle electrical stimulation of breathing muscles could help patients who have been on a ventilator for at least 21 days breathe on their own faster and more successfully. It compared the stimulation to standard intensive care with a fake (sham) stimulation in 300 participants. The main goal was to see if this approach reduced the time patients needed the ventilator and improved their chances of successful weaning.
