Subjects in MV will be included, divided into 3 groups: (a) Control Group (CG), (b) Stimulation of Quadriceps (Quadriceps Group - QG), (c) Stimulation of Diaphragm (Diaphragm Group - DG). The QG and DG patients will receive consecutive daily electrical stimulation sessions at specific points from the first day of randomization until ICU discharge. Respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, MV time, length of hospitalization and functional independence score (the Functional Status Score-ICU) will be recorded.
Objective: Evaluate the effectiveness of the Neuro Muscular Electrical Stimulation therapy in quadriceps versus diaphragm subjects on mechanical ventilation (MV). Subjects in MV will be included, divided into 3 groups: (a) Control Group (CG), (b) Stimulation of Quadriceps (Quadriceps Group - QG), (c) Stimulation of Diaphragm (Diaphragm Group - DG). The QG and DG patients will receive consecutive daily electrical stimulation sessions at specific points from the first day of randomization until ICU discharge. Respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, MV time, length of hospitalization and functional independence score (the Functional Status Score-ICU) will be recorded.
