Randomized Study to Investigate the Safety and Performance of Diaphragm Stimulation Coupled With Mechanical Ventilation
Diaphragm Issues, Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury, Tracheostomy
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Diaphragm Issues focused on measuring Mechanical Ventilators, Ventilators, Pulmonary, Failure to wean, Lung Injury, Ventilator-Induced, Tracheostomy, Diaphragm pacing
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patient is intubated, on mechanical ventilation, undergoing tracheostomy, and expected to undergo mechanical ventilation for at least 5 days
- Signed written informed consent has been obtained prior to performing any study related procedure(s)
- Subject is at least 18 years of age
- Negative pregnancy test if the patient is a female of child-bearing potential. (Females of child-bearing potential exclude women who are post-hysterectomy or post-menopausal.)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Diaphragm malformation which makes electrode insertion impossible
- Presence of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator
- Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Subject is pregnant or breastfeeding
- Diagnosis of neuromuscular disease or high level spinal cord injury prior to tracheostomy
- Terminal patients expected to die during their stay in the hospital
- Participation in other clinical studies that could interfere with the results in the ongoing study
