Consequences in critically ill patients with prolonged mechanical ventilation after diaphragmatic stimulation techniques: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) may lead to poor outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the effects of diaphragmatic stimulation on the duration of MV (DMV), the intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (ILOS), the proportion of patients successfully weaned and maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) in patients with prolonged MV.

Design

Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Data sources

Cochrane library, Embase, Pubmed and Web of Science up to December 2024.

Eligibility criteria for selecting studies

Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies evaluating the outcomes of patients with prolonged MV after diaphragmatic stimulation were included up to December 2024.
