Effects of Muscular Electrical Stimulation on Skeletal and Lung Mechanics in Patients With Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation

Chang Gung Memorial Hospital·interventional·Posted Aug 28, 2014·Updated Mar 27, 2017

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating electrical stimulation (high frequency), electrical stimulation (low frequency), and 1 other intervention for Respiratory Failure. Completed, enrolled 53 participants across 1 site.

Detailed 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.

Interventions

electrical stimulation (high frequency)other

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

electrical stimulation (low frequency)other

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

sham groupother

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