Clinical Trial: Blood Flow Restriction Training for Mechanically Ventilated Patients With ICU-Acquired Weakness

U.S., Sept. 4 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07802743) titled 'Blood Flow Restriction Training for Mechanically Ventilated Patients With ICU-Acquired Weakness' on Aug. 26.

Brief Summary: Patients receiving mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU) frequently develop ICU-acquired weakness - a condition marked by widespread muscle loss and weakness caused by prolonged bed rest, severe illness, and systemic inflammation. This complication can lengthen time on the ventilator, extend ICU stays, and lead to lasting physical disability. Standard rehabilitation therapies in the ICU have limited ability to slow muscle loss because critically ill patients cannot tolerate high levels of exer...
