About This Trial
The gold standard of twitch transdiaphragmatic pressure recordings would ultimately clear the fog around the rate of development of Ventilator induced Diaphragm Dysfunction (VIDD) in mechanically ventilated patients over time.
Through measurements made even after mechanical ventilation (MV) it could be clarified to what extent patients recover from VIDD.
Paired with cortical stimulation and elec…
