Brief Summary:
This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on phrenic regeneration post cardiac surgery
Detailed Description:
Phrenic nerve injury post cardiac surgery is a serious problem closely related to frequent respiratory complications. It has been associated with diaphragm dysfunction, pneumonia and difficulty weaning from mechanical ventilation in critical ill patients.
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is commonly used in physical therapy to increase muscle strength and promote muscle hypertrophy.
There is increased flow of patients after heart surgery in kasr Aini hospital who suffers from respiratory complication due to phrenic nerve injury so the hospitalization period of them increased which make economic burden in health insurance services with decreased level of quality of life that is the most concern as to improve patient status and relief this burden. So this study aims to decrease respiratory complication and improve phrenic nerve regeneration by using neuromuscular electrical stimulation as a safe, noninvasive , inexpensive and virtually risk free method.
