New treatment option for ARDS, Human
Official title Non-invasive Phrenic Nerve Stimulation in ARDS Patient
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06572280
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Reduced diaphragmatic activity during mechanical ventilation can lead to diaphragmatic disuse atrophy, atelectasis, increased lung stress and strain, and hemodynamic impairment. This, in turn, may prolong the duration of mechanical ventilation, make weaning more difficult, and even increase mortality.
