Summary
This study looked at 100 adults who had been on a breathing machine for over 3 weeks. Researchers tested whether adding a high-protein diet, core muscle exercises, and mild electrical stimulation could help them breathe on their own. The goal was to see if these treatments improved the chance of successfully stopping ventilator use for at least 5 days.
