ICU Care Linked to Muscle Wasting and Cognitive Decline in Patients
A new study identifies how prolonged critical care triggers muscle dysfunction and brain complications, with electrical stimulation showing promise in restoring swallowing and reducing feeding tube dependency. The findings could reshape ICU protocols and reduce costly long-term care needs for survivors.

In pediatric patients with primary or neurological dysphagia, NMES improves suprahyoid, facial, and tongue muscle activation, enhances swallowing efficiency and reduces tube-feeding dependency In adults, particularly post-stroke, NMES improves laryngeal elevation, Upper Esophageal Sphincter (UES) opening, and quality of life, though efficacy in head and neck cancer patients is limited.
