STROKE, RESPIRATORY FAILURE, COMPLICATIONS, VENTILATOR-ASSOCIATED PNEUMONIA (VAP)
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is an effective way to treat patients with respiratory failure. However, the MV can also bring about complications such as ventilator-associated lung injury and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) [Over the years, notable efforts have been dedicated to defining the most superb strategy to weaning sufferers from MV. Early mobilization in the ICU is advisable to seriously sick sufferers by way of decreasing the incidence of ICU-acquired weakness, accelerating the functional restoration of patients, and accelerating liberation from the ventilator [Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is not a new method and is widely used in stroke rehabilitation and exercise training [
