Transcutaneous Diaphragm Stimulation in ICU Patients

"In the ICU, TEDS is administered by a physiotherapist once daily for 20 minutes, five days a week, as part of the routine treatment protocol. The stimulation is delivered using the LGT-231 model device from the LONGEST brand.~A transcutaneous current with a frequency of 30-50 Hz and a pulse width of 300-400 microseconds is applied to the diaphragm. The stimulation intensity is increased until visible muscle contraction is achieved."
