Chronic Respiratory Failure, Critical Illness Myopathy
Electric Muscle Stimulation for Patients With Chronic Respiratory Failure
Background: After mechanical ventilation, 5-20% of patients with acute respiratory failure would depend on ventilator support more than 14 days because of critical-illness weakness and their underlying diseases such as heart…
