Sponsor's own description

Prolonged mechanical ventilation has been defined as the need for \>21 days. The muscle weakness occurred most commonly in patients with PMV and resulted in increasing time to wean from mechanical ventilation, and longer stay in hospital. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) involves applying a stimuli to skeletal muscle, to trigger muscle contraction, and it can be used for the recovery of muscle mass and muscle strength following prolonged immobilization. NMES also improve microcirculation and systemic circulation in patients with cardiopulmonary diseases. The purposes of this study: 1. to examine the acute effects of NMES on the microcirculation, physiologic response and metabolic demand in patients with PMV. 2. to investigate the training effects of NMES on microcirculation, muscle strength and weaning outcomes in patients with PMV. METHODS: Subjects with PMV are recruited and are randomly assigned into NMES (n=20) or control group (n=20).The NMES group receive daily NMES for 30 min/session for 10 days. The assessment of muscle strength and weaning profile were performed before and after intervention. During the first and the last NMES session, the status of microcirculation and local muscle tissue oxygenation will be measured by NIRS, and the metabolic status will be measured by IC. The ventilator weaning rate and length of stay in RCC will be recorded.
