First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 26, 2026 · Updated 33 times
Summary
This study tested if using mild electrical pulses on the breathing muscles (diaphragm and abdomen) helps patients who have been on a breathing machine for a long time to wean off it faster. 300 adults who needed a ventilator for at least 21 days were split into groups receiving real stimulation or a sham treatment. The main goal was to see if the stimulation shortened the time to breathe without the machine for 48 hours.
