We all breathe 20.000 times a day and often take it for granted. Mechanically ventilated patients in critical care have impaired breathing activity, which can lead to severe consequences.
The core breathing muscle – the diaphragm - is lost by up to 50% in 18-69 hours.1
Lack of breathing function & muscle is the root cause of prolonged ventilation & ICU complications.2,3
STIMIT has developed non-invasive diaphragm stimulation technology designed to re-activate breathing in respiratory & critical care.
Can create lung injury
Diaphragm inactive:
loss of breathing muscles
diaphragm stimulation may have potential benefits for the lung (pressure distribution), the heart (blood return) and the brain4
