Ventilator Induced Diaphragm Dysfunction
Conditions
Keywords
VIDD
Brief summary
This study will be conducted as a randomized trial of the TransAeris system for the prevention and treatment of ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD) in patients identified prior to surgery to be at greater risk of prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV).
Detailed description
This study is an open label, randomized, cross-over study in adult open cardiac surgery patients. All subjects will receive TransLoc electrodes at the time of open sternotomy cardiac procedure. Half of subjects will have TransAeris turned on upon entry to ICU, the other half will receive standard of care with TransAeris turned on if still intubated on mechanical ventilation after 120 hours.
Interventions
TransAeris is used to provide neuromuscular electrical stimulation to the diaphragm while the patient is on mechanical ventilation to prevent, slow, or reverse diaphragm disuse atrophy and, more generally, to prevent and treat VIDD.
