Overview

This trial evaluates whether transcutaneous diaphragmatic/phrenic nerve stimulation (TEDS), abdominal functional electrical stimulation (abFES), or their combination, accelerates and improves the quality of weaning from prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), compared with standardized ICU care with sham stimulation.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Invasive mechanical ventilation ≥21 days for PMV; expected ≥48 h ICU stay. Eligible for standardized weaning protocol and SBT assessment. Informed consent by participant or legally authorized representative.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Non-screenable/unstable arrhythmia or hemodynamics; refractory hypoxemia/hypercapnia.

Pacemaker/ICD not shieldable; seizure disorder uncontrolled. Recent abdominal surgery or skin breakdown at electrode sites; BMI\>35; pregnancy.

Prone positioning; continuous deep neuromuscular blockade; investigator deems unsuitable.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
