About This Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to study how whole-body electrical stimulation combined with amino acid intake affects muscle health in ventilated ICU patients. The main questions to answer are:
* Does electrostimulation improve the balance of muscle protein in ICU patients?
* Does combining electrostimulation with amino acid help build muscle and prevent muscle loss?
